The TUM Global Postdoc Fellowship 2025 offers up to 10 international young scientists the opportunity to conduct research with a host at TUM for up to 2 years within the framework of the fellowship.

We grant the fellowships in two separate calls (March / September). The first call (Call 5.1) will open on March 01, 2025.

The deadline for submission of application is April 13, 2025 (23:59 CEST).
