At Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, young researchers receive funding from a variety of institutions:
DFG Emmy Noether Groups ...
ERC Starting Grants ...
Young academic grants of the Carl Zeiss-foundation ...
Young academic grants of the Helmholtz-Association ...

Emmy Noether Groups (DFG)

Within the framework of the Emmy Noether Program, several young academics are currently heading their own young researchers' groups and, in so doing, are not only exercising early scientific independence but are also gaining qualifications for faculty membership.

• Junior Prof. Dr. Silke Jansen: Hispania Submersa - das spanische Erbe der Karibik
• Dr. Frank Saueressig: Functional Renormalization Group Methods in Quantum Gravity
• Dr. Matthias Schott: Precision Measurement of the W boson using the LHC
• Dr. Petra Schumacher: Infomationsstruktur und neurokognitive Grundlagen: Inferenzen und Wortstellungsvariationen
• Dr. Kerstin Thomas: Form und Emotion
• Dr. Martin Weigel: Frustrating disorder for continuous spins: low-temperature properties of spin glasses and random-field systems

You will find more research projects at JGU funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) here.

ERC Starting Grants (EU)

The aim of an ERC Starting grant is the set-up or the consolidation of an independent excellent research team. Young researchers may profit from this funding projects as well as established scientists.

• Prof. Dr. Carsten Sönnichsen: Single metal nanoparticles as molecular sensors (SINGLESENS)
• Prof. Dr. Mathias Kläui: Spin currents in magnetic nanostructures (MASPIC)
• Prof. Dr. Boris Jozef Paul Kaus: Mechanics Of Deformation of the Earth's Lithosphere. (MODEL)

You will find more research-projects at the JGU funded by the ERC and the EU here.
