Career Development

Within the Elisabeth Schiemann Kolleg scientific members of the Max Planck Society foster the careers of excellent female scientists after their postdoc phase, helping them to succeed on their way to an appointment as a tenured professor or as a director of a research institution. Julijana Gjorgjieva is currently a member of the Elisabeth-Schiemann-Kolleg. more

The Foundation for the promotion of science and research, initiated in 2004, supports talented young women with children. It aims to create the freedom and mobility required to further their scientific careers. The Foundation wishes to help prevent science from losing excellent talent. It is aimed specifically at graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the fields of experimental natural sciences and medicine.
In 2017, Anja Gemmer (Schuman Department) was awarded a fellowship. more

The Sign Up! Career building program was established as a collaboration between the Max Planck Society and the EAF Berlin. It aims at promoting women post-doctoral researchers and academic staff in their career development and prepare them for leadership roles in the scientific community. As of now, Max Planck Directors can nominate female scientists at the postdoctoral level for participation. Please find more information in the flyer "Sign Up!
