Successful candidates are appointed from 01.01.2024 or later and will be located at the employing partnering sites, depending on the project leader. Based upon the regulations of the “Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz” in conjunction with the “Hochschulgesetz” of the respective federal state, positions are initially limited with the possibility of subsequent employment. People with disabilities are given priority, if they are equally qualified.

The salary grade and additional benefits are based on the collective agreement of the employing partnering institution. All participating institutions are committed to gender equality and therefore strongly encourage women to apply. Great importance is attached to the family-friendly organization of work contexts. Returning to work after parental leave is encouraged. Jobs are generally divisible as long as the tasks do not conflict with this.
