Early Career Support

Information for early career researchers

We are the main source of information on doctoral degrees, postdoctoral research, habilitations, junior research groups, and junior professorships (corresponds to the profile categories R1 to R3 of the European Commission). We function as an umbrella organization for all structured doctoral programs. We provide support and advice to doctoral degree candidates, early career researchers after their doctoral degrees and supervisors of doctoral degrees and habilitations at FAU.
