Making an application to the University’s Rectorial Board for the award of
TUD Young Investigator status requires the support of the respective Faculty.

To check if a respective Faculty of the TUD is willing to admit someone as a Young Investigator, interested candidates should initially contact the respective faculty/Dean.

Application for the "TUD Young Investigator" status (Download)
Agreement with the Faculty (Download)

Affiliation with two faculties

An interdisciplinary affiliation with two faculties is, in principle, an option.
In this case, both faculties must endorse the application. Both faculties should come to an agreement with the TUD Young Investigator.

The integration into teaching, usually in the amount of two SWS in total, should be ideally covered by an interdisciplinary offer.

Individual arrangements between faculty and the TUD Young Investigator are encouraged and should be outlined in the proposal/agreement.

The scientific qualification and development of the profile of the TUD Young Investigator should always be in focus and not be impaired.

 

After approving the application, the faculty forwards all signed application documents with the written statement from the Dean to the Rectorate of the TU Dresden.

Statement of the Faculty/Dean (Download)

The TUD Young Investigator Status is awarded for a limited period.

It is linked to the independent junior research group's duration or ends
with the TU Dresden leaving or the appointment to a professorship.

An extension for a maximum of one additional year beyond the duration of the junior research group is only granted with the agreement and written statement by the faculty.
