Applications must be submitted before 2004-08-31.

The "Tandem Program" allows post-doctoral students to pursue a research project for a period of up to three years.
Partners should fullfil the following requirements:
- optimally less than two years after having finished !PhD (it may be slightly more)

In case of interest, please contact Haunss directly (sebastian.haunss at uni-essen.de).
