In new applications, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers need to be allocated at least 75% FTE positions. Positions scheduled for less than 75% FTE or assigning funding to cover scholarship fees requires the explicit approval of the Einstein Foundation head office.
Where exceptions have been arranged, the upper limit for scholarship funding is €1.800 per month. For postdoctoral scholarships, this amount can be raised to €2,100 to include voluntary social and pension insurance contributions.
