BENEFITS AND GOALS

The "TUD Young Investigator" status strengthens excellent, independent junior research group leaders by fostering their integration into the faculties and offering a qualification programme tailored to their particular needs.

The aim of this scheme is to counteract the structural disadvantages sometimes experienced by this group of researchers due to their lack of defined status and inadequate or nonexistent connection to a faculty.

Rights

The status is awarded for a limited time and includes and entails the following rights:

  • Every "TUD Young Investigator" will be given a TUD university teacher as a mentor and direct contact,
  • will be accepted by the faculty as an assessor and examiner in doctoral procedures, particularly with regard to the dissertations they (co-)supervise,
  • will participate in teaching,
  • will be integrated into their respective faculty, including the possibility to attend public parts of Faculty Council meetings as a guest,
  • will get the opportunity to take part in a range of training individually designed to address the needs of academics in this qualification phase.

APPLICATION

Who can apply?

  • Junior research group leaders with fixed-term contracts with the TU Dresden or a partner institution of the DRESDEN-concept
  • with own budget and staff responsibility,
  • who are academically independent and without affiliation to a professor,
  • who heads a research group with at least two academics (excluding the head).
  • In addition to a completed doctorate with a grade of at least very good, evidence of performance suitable for postdoctoral lecturer qualification is necessary.

How does the application process work?

(1) Approval of the Faculty
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 the readiness of a Faculty of the TUD to admit someone as a Young Investigator, interested candidates should initially contact the respective Dean.

Agreement with the Faculty (Download)

(2) Application to the University’s Governing Board
After approving the application, the faculty forwards all signed application documents with a statement from the Dean to the Rectorate of the TU Dresden.

Statement of the Faculty/Dean (Download)
 

(3) Application for extension of the TUD Young Investigator Status
The TUD Young Investigator Status is awarded for a limited period. It is linked to the duration as an independent junior research group leader or ends automatically with the departure from the TU Dresden or the appointment to a professorship.

An extension for a maximum of one additional year is only possible with the agreement of and written statement by the faculty.
