Financing Student Assistants

Due to a shortage of staff, PoGS is currently only able to process applications on a stand-in basis and only to a limited extent. Please be patient and assist us with good preparation and timely submission. Kindly pay attention to the information sheets and the requirements listed therein. We thank you for your understanding.

The Potsdam Graduate School (PoGS) supports PhD candidates, temporary employed postdocs, juniorprofessors or newly appointed professors at the University of Potsdam by financing student assistants. It helps to support your scientific work. The coaching is part of the individual support. You can applicate for financing a student assistant with or without university degree.
The maximum funding amount per person and calendar year for Postdoc PoGS members is a total of €2000. This amount applies as a total amount for all funding guidelines and can be used at your own personal decision for the different funding areas (except coaching) per calendar year.

Please note the current changes to minimum contract terms as a result of the TV-L 2023 collective bargaining negotiations (Tarifverhandlungen TV-L 2023). The information was forwarded to all academic departments by e-mail. Please consult with your department before submitting a funding application to PoGS.
