Additional information can be found here.

The aim of the programme is to increase the career opportunities of female postdocs and junior professors with family responsibilities at the University of Cologne (UoC) by relieving them of different tasks in teaching, in the academic self-administration or by supporting them in their research (e.g. in third-party fundraising). Funds will be granted for the employment of a teaching substitute or a research assistant.Eligible for application are female postdoctoral researchers and junior professors, with at least one child up to the age of 12 years resp. 6th grade or younger or with care responsibilities.

More information about our body of work on gender-related themes is accessible here. The call is also available in german language here.
