Welcome

In 2009 the University set up the Dorothea Schlözer Programme to promote equal opportunities and diversity at the Göttingen Research Campus. A total of 20 scholarships were granted so far to female researchers at the postdoctoral or graduate level. It is planned to issue five to eight scholarships each year for the following three years.

Currently three additional postdoc positions for female researchers are being set up in Junior Research Groups funded by the Institutional Strategy within the German Excellence Initivative at Göttingen University. They will either be affiliated to a so-called Courant Research Centre or to a Free Floater Research Group.

Interested in joining one of the newly etablished Junior Research Groups? You will be working in a vibrant academic environment with innovative research ideas and an interdisciplinary approach towards science. For more information on the application procedure, please click here. You will find a detailed overview of the research areas here.

Room for discussion and exchange of ideas is provided within the Dorothea Schlözer discussion forum.

Once accepted you will be eligible to participate in the detailed Dorothea Schlözer Qualification Programme developed by the equal opportunities office to support the career of young female researchers. A new round will start early in 2011.
