CRC 1182 Lynn Margulis Fund

The Lynn Margulis funds will support outstanding female postdocs and advanced female doctoral researchers of the CRC 1182 with up to 10,000 €*. The fund must be used for a research stay in the laboratory of a distinguished female scientist host at an institution other than the member institutions of the CRC 1182, ideally abroad.
Considering the pandemic situation, we recommend to choose a distinguished female scholar located at an institution, which allows the presence of visiting scientists.
