A post-doctoral opportunity in Germany (must be in the state of Lower Saxony). Open to applicants from overseas. (To clarify: I have nothing to do with this and am just forwarding the call, I don't have further information). The Volkswagen Foundation is a public agency that has no connection to VW.

Dear AI-Community,

As part of our funding programme ‘zukunft.niedersachsen’, we would like to inform you about a currently open call for proposals for funding AI research groups. Further details can be found at the following link: zukunft.niedersachsen AI research groups.

The funding offer is aimed at scientists with at least two years of research experience after completing their doctorate who do not yet hold a permanent professorship. The aim is to support researchers who are willing to establish an independent research group. The research groups must be based at universities or research institutions in Lower Saxony, while applicants can come from Germany or any other country in the world. Our programme aims to improve the starting opportunities for young scientists in Lower Saxony and to attract promising talent from all over the world to Lower Saxony.

If you know of any other researchers who might be interested in this call for proposals, we would be grateful if you could pass on the information.

If you have any questions regarding the content, please contact Dr Martin Berger at the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture:
