HITS Independent Postdoc Program

The HITS Independent Postdoc Program offers a great opportunity for young scientists at the transition from Postdoc to being a junior group leader. It supports young scientists to come up with own fresh ideas and to explore their own independent research questions. The HITS Independent Postdoc Program is set for 2 years with the option for a 1-year extension. High-risk, high-gain projects are welcome.

Keep your eyes open for the annual call. You can find more information on the HITS Independent Postdoc Program here.

Starting a junior group at HITS

We welcome young scientists that would like to start their own independent research group at HITS with external funding such as an ERC Starting grant or a DFG Emmy Noether grant. HITS offers a dynamic workplace without disciplinary boundaries and a number of benefits to complement the external funds. This renders HITS a particularly attractive institution for your independent research group.
