Advanced Clinician Scientists
Even after medical specialist training, combining tasks in research, teaching and health care remains a challenge. Accordingly, the funding line for Advanced Clinician Scientists introduced in 2019 is intended to offer scientifically and clinically active clinicians protected time for research. Compared to the funding line Clinician Scientist, the funding line Advanced Clinician Scientist is tailored even more individually to the fellows needs. The main focus of the offered qualification courses is on leadership in science.
The call is open to scientifically and clinically highly-qualified board-certified clinicians,
-
who have a proven research profile,
- who lead or are currently building up a scientific working group,
-
who have already completed their habilitation, have obtained their habilitation maturity or can present evidence for equal achievements (including APL-professors),
-
who have successfully applied for their own third-party-funds,
-
who preferably have a clinical leadership position, e.g. (Functional) Senior Physicians, and,
-
who have at least a medium-term perspective at the Medical Center - University of Freiburg.
- Protected time for research, which can be flexibly distributed over the total funding period of three years (generally 30%)
- Individual qualification programme focussed on leadership skills
- Accompanying (cross) mentoring
- Heading/Leading a scientific working group
- Training and mentoring junior scientists within their own working group
- Independent, research-oriented teaching
- Participation in a structured excellence program providing optimal conditions for combining a scientific and clinical career
- Interdisciplinary networking, exchange and cooperation with peers and renowned scientific experts
- Support in strategic career planning in the form of mentoring
- An individual qualification curriculum in form of courses and lectures appropriate to the career stage, primarily on the subject of "leadership in science".
- Participation in the Faculty's strategic discussions regarding the further development of clinical and medical research as part of the "Fakultätsklausur Forschung" which is held by the Faculty of Medicine bienially.
