德國博士后獎學金申請

我寫下關于德國高等教育是因為常有人(國內(nèi)的朋友，這里的德國學生)問我關于美德區(qū)別，出于好奇的還是在認真考慮去國外讀書的都有。我當然只有個人經(jīng)歷，很不全，但既然想知道的朋友挺多，覺得值得寫出來。歡迎各位討論補充。

      現(xiàn)在再說一下我申請postdoc fellowship的經(jīng)歷。

      即使老板有錢，不用申請，還是申請一下好。第一，為你的簡歷貼金。第二，獎學金是免稅的，通常高于普通postdoc稅后收入。第三，申請不化錢。第四，有的獎學金機構會對你的申請報告作出評價，無論成功否，你都能更好了解自己研究項目的地位和自身能改進處。

      我知道的不會德語的中國人能申請的博士后獎學金：Humboldt，Marie Curie Incoming International Fellowship。若與生物方面有關還有：EMBO，Human Frontier Science Program, Schering。應該還有更多，誰知道的歡迎補充。另外博士生也應該調(diào)查一下可申請的獎學金，試一試總沒有壞處。

      寫申請報告當然是最重要的，要時刻想到評審人希望看到你提出的計劃可以真正實施而不是紙上談兵，所以不僅要有好的想法還要提供充足的preliminary data，最好是已發(fā)表的。具體怎么寫我不羅嗦了，網(wǎng)上能查到很多。

      其次是老板牛不牛。再次是自己牛不牛(以前是為啥老板干的，發(fā)表了什么)。

      我同時申請了Humboldt，Marie Curie，HFSP，我自認為機會50%，因為寫申請時我還沒開做，不知該項目的底細，老板無名(postdoc剛做出來的，小小的一個group leader)，但我發(fā)表論文較多(要感謝曾在UM被迫充當廉價勞力，有3篇第一作者和3篇合作)。結果出乎意料3個全中，我當然選個給錢最多的拉。

      其中Marie Curie(EU的錢)給了很詳細的評價，節(jié)選如下，希望對其他申請人有幫助：

      申請報告 
      Strong points: 
      -This is an exceptional clear project focused on getting new and important insights into a very important problem of cell physiology. 
      -The experimental design is excellent.

      Weak points: 
      -However, additional in vivo experimentats would improve the application and could certainly add to the biological significance of the project.

      我本人 
      The applicant has a broad research experience. The applicant has a large number of publications, however only few in very good journals. The applicant has proven very good independent thinking. There is a perfect match between the applicants profile and the project. There is a very good potential to acquire new knowledge.The topic of the proposed project is perfectly in line with the candidate''''s previous research endeavors and the candidate is expected to have the required experience in the field to successfully conduct the proposed research programme.

      我老板 
      However, having established the laboratory only recently, it may not be fully organized yet, and some organizational adjustments may occur during the training period of the fellow. Infrastructure of the host laboratory is perfectly adequate for the proposed project.

      可行性 
      Strong points: 
      -The outline of the project (management and workplan) is excellent. 
      -The applicant already started working in the host laboratory, and the practical arrangements for conducting the project are thus in place.

      Weak points: 
      -However, a detailed risk assessment is lacking.
