Job opportunities

First Funding Period : 07/2021 – 06/2025

Within this CRC funding is provided for the CRC-projects described on our website. The funding comprises postdoctoral positions (PDoc) and positions for doctoral students (PhD). Payment is based on the German TVL-13 scale if terms and conditions under collective bargaining laws are fulfilled.

For the postdoctoral positions we are seeking candidates holding a very good PhD in one of the areas relevant to the particular project. For the doctoral student positions we are seeking highly qualified candidates holding an MSc. or equivalent degree with a background suitable for one of the projects.

The CRC provides an excellent infrastructure for training and research in an internationally visible network. We offer support for international students and postdocs. The positions will be based at the universities of the project leader(s) of the relevant projects. Many of the projects are based at more than one university.

  • Goethe-Universität Frankfurt
  • Technische Universität Darmstadt
  • Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg

associated institutions

  • Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz
  • Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster

Applications will be considered until all positions are filled. Presently, all positions are filled
