TBA (last known deadline was April 10, 2012)
The University of Bonn, Germany, will offer one 2012-13 academic year award and several short term awards to UW-Madison advanced graduate students who wish to pursue independent research under the guidance of a senior faculty member. Although there is not a general minimum language skills requirement, German skills should be commensurate with the needs of the project. The University of Bonn is a research university that is considered one of Germany’s, and Europe’s, top institutes of higher education. Traditionally, UW-Madison applicants have come primarily from the humanities and social sciences, but Bonn is also recognized as a leader in mathematics, physics, chemistry, pharmaceutical research, and life- and neurosciences, with strengths also in an international computer sciences program. Applicants should be enrolled in a University of Wisconsin-Madison doctoral program. Preference will be given to dissertators; however, graduate students who have not yet passed preliminary examinations for the Ph.D. will be considered. The awards are not tenable for use after a terminal Masters Degree. Due at 12:00 pm.
