The University of Bonn invites applications for the Bonn SDG Fellowships at the University of Bonn in Germany in 2022.
The aim of this funding line is to invite post-doctoral scientists in all areas of specialization. Especially those that conduct research primarily on a topic addressed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as set forth by the United Nations in its Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. The scientists should research and teach at the university for one or two semesters.
As shown by the SDG index, implementing the SDGs poses considerable challenges for many countries in Africa, Asia and South America. Based on the 17th Sustainable Development Goal , “Partnerships for the Goals”, researchers in these regions are given preference for the Bonn SDG Fellowships. The goal is to support talented researchers and build and strengthen networks through them.
