Baden-Württemberg Early Career Rescue Fellowship

A two-year fellowship programme in Baden-Württemberg for scholars whose work is restricted due to political pressure in the USA.

The Baden-Württemberg Early Career Rescue Fellowship Programme of the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS), the Tübingen College of Fellows (CoF), and the Zukunftskolleg Konstanz (ZuKo) aims to provide temporary rescue havens for postdoctoral researchers who cannot conduct or continue their work in the USA appropriately because of actual political pressure. The programme offers a two-year research position at one of the three universities in Baden-Württemberg.

The 2026-2028 call grants up to 14 fellowships.

The programme is funded by the Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg (MWK BW – State Ministry of Baden-Wuerttemberg for Sciences, Research and Arts).
