Young Researchers

A major task of the SFB 1381 is to promote early career scientists and to foster the development of research independence. Therefore, the SFB 1381 provides comprehensive career support for doctoral as well as postdoctoral researchers.

All PhD students of the SFB 1381 are members of a graduate program, e.g. the Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine (SGBM) and the International Max Planck Research School for Epigenetics, Biophysics and Metabolism (IMPRS-EBM).  SGBM offers a SFB 1381 specfic track (Dissertation Agreement).

   

 

Also, all PhD students of the SFB 1381 can take part in the Qualification Program of the Graduate Centre (GraCe) at Freiburg Research Services. GracCe also offers counseling on all questions concerning doctoral studies, conflict counseling and other services. The University of Freiburg has a central ombuds process to support doctoral candidates and their supervisors in case of conflicts arising in the supervision relationship or work in the dissertation.

Postdoctoral researchers of the SFB 1381 can take part in the Learning & Development Program at the University of Freiburg’s Department ‘Gender, Diversity and Academic Staff Development’ and in the Education and Qualification for Postdocs (EQUIP)-Program at the Faculty of Medicine.

Furthermore, SFB 1381 specific workshops are organised to primarily educate early career researchers and broaden their expertise.
