Feature and warning

What this offers

FPU funds selected predoctoral employment contracts.

Check before applying

You need the appropriate work authorization before starting a job. A job-search residence permit is not a work permit.

Fees, funding, and visa rules change. Confirm current terms with the university or the government source before you apply.
