Diversity is the foundation of our commitment to excellence! We are looking for free-thinking, highly motivated researchers who are interested in becoming a part of Physics of Life.

## PoL Programs

We have institutionalized various measures to support people in starting or successfully continuing a career at PoL. We refer to these measures as PoL Programs. On these pages you can find various ways to join PoL both for a longer period ([Master of Science](https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-education/msc), [PhD](https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-education/phd), [Postdoc](https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-education/postdoc), along with currently [open positions](https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-education/open-positions)) as well as for a short visit ([PoL Visitors Program](#c965)). If you are already a member of PoL, have a look at our [Supporting Programs & Grants](https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-education/pol-supporting-programs-grants) and our measures to actively [support diversity, equity, and inclusion](https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-education/equity-diversity).

## [Equity and Diversity](https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/career-education/equity-diversity)

Excellent science needs diversity and originality. In order to ensure that all relevant sections of society are addressed in the long term, science and the humanities have to appropriately represent all these areas as well.
