The Presidential Board of Paderborn University honoured a number of outstanding academics in the early stages of their careers with the Graduate Scholarship 2025 at an award ceremony. The scholarships include a monthly grant of 2,000 euros and are awarded for twelve or 36 months, depending on the funding line. "With the graduate scholarships, we are not only supporting excellent research, but also young academics who will shape our university in the long term. The award-winning projects impressively demonstrate the diversity and quality of research at Paderborn University," says a delighted Prof Dr Thomas Tröster, Vice President for Research and Academic Career Paths at Paderborn University.
Jonas Kloppenburg from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities (KW) was awarded a doctoral scholarship in the field of gender research. Over the next 36 months, Kloppenburg will be researching the topic "Configurations of masculinity in Brecht - hegemonic masculinity in the context of transformation, power shifts and emphasised femininity in Bertolt Brecht's works of the Weimar Republic".
Two full doctoral scholarships, each lasting 36 months, were awarded to Johanna Jakob from the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Mathematics (EIM) and Timothy Kroupa from the KW Faculty. Jakob is working on a doctorate on the topic of "Diffeomorphism groups of locally polyhedral manifolds and Lie groups of Whitney jets", while Kroupa is receiving a scholarship for his research on "Pandemic Storytelling: The Cultural Work of Covid Fiction".
In addition, two final fellowships were awarded for a funding period of 12 months each. These support young academics in the final phase of their doctoral dissertation. Anton Visser from the Faculty of Science (NW ) is working on his doctorate entitled "Electrocortical Dynamics During Resistance Exercise". Enno Adler from the Faculty of EIM has also been awarded a scholarship for his research project "Graph and Hypergraph Compression Schemes Inspired by String Compression Techniques, RePair, and Suffix Sorting".
