Intern to Postdoc – Early Career Support for Young Academics

In order to support junior researchers, ISAS has established programmes that encompass all stages of their scientific careers: The offer is directed at bachelor’s and master’s students, including a structured graduate programme for doctoral students as well as further educational opportunities for postdocs.

In the first three years of the doctoral phase, the curriculum of the structured doctoral training at ISAS includes ten workshops, an information event on career planning, an internal lab rotation and optionally a doctoral-related stay at a research institution abroad. In the final phase, the focus is on the completion of the work and the doctoral thesis. The duration of a PhD at ISAS depends on the department and averages three and a half to four and a half years.

Close exchange with collaborating universities

In addition, ISAS promotes the career opportunities of excellent young researchers by enabling them to lead projects through junior research groups. The early responsibility as a group leader aims to support particularly young researchers who wish to pursue a further career in science.

The junior scientists benefit from the institute’s cooperation in research and training with the following universities: TU Dortmund University, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, University of Duisburg Essen and Bielefeld University.
