Candidates who have not finished their MA at the time of the application deadline have to provide evidence (in the cover letter or in the reference) that they will have their MA in hand at the time the fellowship starts.
The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy
The MCMP hosts a vibrant research community of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, doctoral fellows, master students, and visiting fellows. It organizes at least two weekly colloquia and a weekly internal work-in-progress seminar, as well as various other activities such as workshops, conferences, summer schools, and reading groups. The successful candidates will partake in the MCMP's academic activities and enjoy its administrative facilities and support. The official language at the MCMP is English and fluency in German is not mandatory.
The MCMP especially encourages female scholars to apply. The LMU in general, and the MCMP in particular, endeavor to raise the percentage of women among its academic personnel. Among applicants chosen for interviews, given equal qualification, preference will be given to candidates with disabilities.
The fellowships are remunerated with 1.468 €/month (paid out without deductions for tax and social security). The MCMP also provides funds to cover costs to attend some workshops and conferences.
