                  Award for excellent young scientists
ABSTRACT:         The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation grants the Sofja
Kovalevskaja Award to young scientists and scholars from abroad with
outstanding research records. The programme is open to scientists and
scholars from all countries and disciplines. Recipients of the Sofja
Kovalevskaja Award will be granted funding totalling up to 1.2 million EUR
over a period of four years to conduct research of their own choice. The
award is intended to sponsor award-winner's research work (including the
necessary equipment and material, personnel, travel expenses etc.).

Applicants should not be over 35 years of age. They should have completed
their doctorates with distinction and published work in prestigious
international journals or publishing houses. As a rule, foreign
researchers already resident in Germany should not have been engaged in
research in Germany for more than three years at the time of application.
German nationals may apply if they have been engaged in academic work
abroad for at least five years at the time of application. (Exceptions are
possible in special cases.)

Deadline for the current selection period is 4 January 2006.
