The Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) of Bielefeld University offers the opportunity to establish an interdisciplinary Research Group in the academic year 2012/13. For several months up to one year fellows reside at the ZiF and work together on a broader research theme. ZiF provides a budget of up to 500.000 €, support by a research assistance, and a professional infrastructure (i.e. accommodation, conference facilities).

Applications for organizing a ZiF Research Group may be submitted by any scholar from Germany or abroad. In the initial phase, a draft proposal for a Research Group (up to 5 pages) is required. In a second phase, invitations to submit full proposals will be issued. Draft proposals should be received by the Managing Director of the ZiF, Professor Dr. Jörg Bergmann, by October 1, 2010 at the latest.
