1. Living and mobility allowance
Arrangement1:Fellows in the senior scheme are typically employed as guest professors. The guest professorship is a formal employment contract with the University of Freiburg, valid for the duration of the fellowship. By signing an employment contract with the University of Freiburg, all fellows are covered by national insurance (unemployment, pension, health and accident insurance). A Senior Fellow in this regular scheme receives approximately 7,000 € per month pre-tax (depending on personal premises about 30-35 % for tax and mandatory contributions to social security will be deducted). Fellows accompanied by at least one child receive an additional monthly family allowance of 250 €.
Arrangement 2:Those fellows who have a full-time contract (incl. a comprehensive social security coverage) and continuously receive their full salary from their home institution receive an additional contract as a guest professor at the University of Freiburg to compensate them for the extra costs of their stay in Freiburg. This should cover extra costs for their stay abroad, the rent of an apartment and additional expenses for health insurance in Germany. Hence, a senior fellow in this “on paid leave scheme” receives 3,050 € per month pre-tax plus the family allowance of 250 € per month (if applicable).
2. Research cost contributionApart from the costs for salary a research cost contribution of up to 1.050 Euro per month (experimental sciences) or 450 Euro per month (social and theoretical sciences) can be requested. A detailed explanation should be included in the project proposal. For allowable costs please refer to the fellowship application website.
3. Additional financial supportFor all fellows, a mobility allowance of 125 € per month covers relocation costs. In accordance with state travel regulations, fellows will receive a travel allowance covering the costs of the inbound and outbound journey as well as of one extra homeward journey for uninterrupted fellowship stays of seven months or longer. All fellows will have at their disposal a budget of 150 € per month for individual training.
