Some of you will know that I recently got funding for a project on Nitrogen in society. I am here making my application accessible for others who are thinking about applying for funding—plus some background on the funding programme and a few tips.

Max Planck Institutes increasingly advertise research group leader roles as tenure-track alternatives to professorships in Germany. In plain terms that's W2-salary and status (similar to Bundesbeamte) without university teaching duties—focus is on supervising PhDs & postdocs.

The Department ‘Anthropology of Politics and Governance’ invites applications for one:
Senior Scientist (m/f/d) in the field of Social Anthropology as Max Planck Research Group Leader (W2 level, tenure track)
