Career Network
Our unique career network brings together the experience of many experts and resources at our institute. Young scientists are supported in shaping their individual career paths and their own academic or non-academic career choices. The structured network aims to ensure an efficient, focused and successful time at the institute and beyond.
The career network is led by our scientific coordinator and includes individual career counseling , the Grant's Office, which assists in applying for scholarships or grants, the Gender Equality Office, which helps to create an inclusive and diverse work culture, and the PhD Office, which is the first contact point for all PhD students at our institute. A peer board with representatives of postdocs and PhD students helps to optimise the career network for the very people who should benefit from it.
