In providing Feodor Lynen Research Fellowships for postdoctoral researchers, the Alexander
von Humboldt Foundation enables highly-qualified scientists and scholars from Germany who
are just embarking on their academic careers and who completed their doctorates less than
four years ago1
to spend extended periods of research (6-24 months) abroad. Scientists and
scholars from all disciplines may apply. Applications for research stays in Japan or Taiwan
should be submitted to the JSPS Fellowship Programme or the MOST (Taiwan) Research
Fellowship Programme.
