Research and funding opportunities at HSBI
In order to be able to come to HSBI as a scholar at risk, you can either apply for one of the regular job postings or finance your stay at the university through a scholarship. Here are some scholarships that explicitly support scholars at risk:
Target group: researchers at risk from non-EU countries
Funding: scholarship or employment contract as well as an allowance for the host institution
Duration: 24 months (12-month extension possible)
Application: through the nominating university, a risk certificate is necessary and must be requested from you at an early stage, for example from Scholars at Risk
If you wish to come to HSBI, you will need an invitation from a mentor. If you do not have a mentor yet, you can find out about our faculties and research institutes to possibly find a suitable person.
Would you like our support in finding a mentor? Please send us a description of your teaching or research focus at welcome@hsbi.de and we will help you.
Planning and implementing your stay
Once you have received a scholarship or a regular position and have found a mentor at HSBI, you should start to prepare your stay. You find detailed information on planning your stay on this website.
Further assistance and support
If you are not eligible for a stay at HSBI, for example because your teaching and research area is not represented by us, we will be happy to support you in finding a suitable institution. Hochschulkompass and My Guide provide an overview of which subjects are offered at which German universities and help you to find the right university for you.
