Young scientists

Young scientists

For the faculty EIM, a challenging promotion of young scientists is a central element to conduct excellent research: young scientists are seen as an essential driver for new, innovative approaches in both basic and applied research. In this context, the faculty intensively accompanies young scientists from their entry into a doctoral program through a postdoctoral qualification phase to the completion of a junior professorship or junior research group leadership, thus ensuring optimal support on this career path. On this page we have compiled all relevant information for you.
