An overview of the projects funded from the funding line “Else Kröner Clinician Scientist Professorships” can be found here.
Physicians from university hospitals or other research facilities involving patient healthcare in Germany can apply
- who have attained outstanding achievements in research, patient healthcare and teaching
- who have undergone a Clinician Scientist program or are able to prove a leave of absence from clinical responsibilities for purposes of research lasting at least one year
- who are pursuing an innovative, convincing and internationally competitive scientific work program
- who may not be older than 40 years. This age limit can be raised in justified individual cases to be clarified with the foundation in advance due to family commitments (such as pregnancy, parental leave or caring for relatives), military service or alternate mandatory service in lieu of military service, or issues of a comparable nature.
On the part of the accepting university hospital and medical faculty thereof, prerequisite for an application is:
- the contractually designated time for research amounting to 50% of working hours to the benefit of the research share of the professorship
- the continued employment and assumption of personnel expenses for the patient healthcare share (50% of working hours) at the level commensurate with experience as per the collective bargaining agreement for physicians (“TVÄ”), including allowances
- that the title as professor acts preferentially toward appointment to a “W-Professorship” (official German salary scale), at least for the term of the Clinician Scientist Professorship
- the provision of possibilities within the organization and infrastructure (such as clinical position, staff, spaces for research, lab equipment) for successful implementation of a Clinician Scientist function.
The post-doctoral teaching qualification (Habilitation) or similar achievements and a completed residency (Facharztausbildung) at the time of application are required.
