NewsletterThe P.R.I.M.E. programme enables postdocs of all nationalities who see their long-term career in Germany to combine employment at a German university with a research stay outside Germany. Funded researchers receive a work contract at a German university covering the entire funding period. Remuneration is based on the normal pay rate for postdoctoral researchers there. The program lasts 18 months, of which the first 12 months are spent outside Germany and the following 6 months (integration phase) are spent at a German university. Applicants are themselves responsible for establishing contact with their envisaged hosts both outside and inside Germany.
Salaries may range from 3,600 to 4,600 euros per month gross, plus approx. 1,000 to 2,000 euros per month expatriate allowance during the 12 months of the research stay outside Germany. Travelling allowances are also paid.
