Prof. Dr. Sabine Feist,  Prof. Dr. Andreas Schlitzer and Prof. Dr. Michael Schindelegger.

The following documents should be attached to the application:

You may submit your application anytime. A review of submitted application takes place quarterly at the following dates: January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15.
