19.11.2024 Student Assistant-Funds are announced

Support for scientists with family obligations/chronic illnesses

Early career researchers who are caring for their children or other relatives, live with disabilities or are chronically ill are particularly exposed to multiple burdens. We want to support these people in their research activities.

Within the framework of MARA's Student Assistant-Fund, up to 15 young scientists with family responsibilities, disablities/chronic illnesses can be funded.

Scope and duration of funding

Support from a student assistant is funded for 20 hours per month for a maximum period of 6 months. (Costs correspond to a student assistant with a degree.)

Funding criteria

Applications can only be submitted by doctoral students and postdocs of Philipps-Universität Marburg who take on family responsibilities (childcare and / or other care giving tasks).
Applications from individuals who hold a permanent position or who currently have their own third-party funding (personnel or material resources for auxiliary staff) or who did so in the year 2024 will not be considered.

 The application period ends on 6. December 2024.
