What are TRAc Projects?

Postdocs have the possibility to connect to the University of Bamberg with self-funded third-party projects via the Graduate Centre Trimberg Research Academy ("TRAc Projects").

Such a formal assignment of research projects to TRAc offers a affiliation to the university (incl. infrastructure, presence on the websites, status as a member) while maintaining a high degree of independence and autonomy of the research projects. This instrument is therefore particularly suitable for

• experienced postdocs
• interdisciplinary research projects that are geared towards interdisciplinary or interfaculty cooperation with different chairs or institutes
• heads of junior research groups
• research projects of scientists who already fulfill all requirements to be appointed to a permanent professorship.

If you are in the final phase of your doctoral project or have completed your doctorate, have already raised third-party funds for a research project as a postdoc, or have submitted a corresponding application and would like to be affiliated with the University of Bamberg, please contact TRAc's postdoc advisory service:

Dr. Martin Rehfeldt
Dr. Antonia-Widmer Leitz

Phone: 0951-863-3500

If you are planning to apply for external funding and would like to be affiliated with the University of Bamberg, you may be interested in the Docks for Postdocs! programme, in which you will already be supported in the application process. We will be happy to advise you on this as well.
