PROGRAMME
The aim of the Olympia Morata Programme is to support above-average female postdoctoral researchers (i.e. FLINTA*) with outstanding qualification projects in the R2 phase (doctorate should not date back more than approx. 3-4 years). The acronym FLINTA* stands for women, lesbians, intersexual, non-binary, trans and agender persons.
The funding period is usually 2 years. The programme is advertised once a year towards the end of the year. Funding begins on 1 March of each year.
The funding comprises five modules (as illustrated in the figure below):
- partial financial support for your own position (usually based on a half-time position according to pay grade 13/TV-L); it is expected that the institutes where you work will also provide a half-time position (EG 13/TV-L) or personnel resources;
- coaching, counselling and career development meetings;
- network (meetings);
- further education and courses and
- eligibility to apply to the Family Disposal Fund
Candidates are selected through an evaluation of the applications received by an award committee.
Interested women can obtain information and advice from Carmen Waiblinger (carmen.waiblinger@uni-heidelberg.de)at UNIFY (Unit for Family, Diversity and Equality) and then receive the questionnaire form, which is required for the complete documentation.
The guidelines and the call for applications with additional information can be found below in the downloads section.
