[EVENT] PostDoc writing group

26.04.2021

Deadline: 26 Apr 2021

For PostDocs planning to submit a FWF ESPRIT-proposal.

The DLE Research Services and Career Development will offer accompanied postdoc application writings groups for people who are writing their first FWF application under the new FWF ESPRIT program. The writing groups are for both, people with no experience of applying for third party funding and people who already have application writing experience.

The goal of the writing groups is to bring the application forward by giving/receiving peer-feedback accompanied by information from the research services. We will offer support for up to 4 groups with 3 people in each group.

To take part

  • You already have a draft of your project
  • You already have a mentor
  • You have to be willing to partake in the group meetings, read parts of applications from other people in the group and give feedback, work on your own application and send it to the other members of the group so they can give you feedback
