Early Career Support and Graduate Center

We are a central service for information on doctoral degrees, postdoctoral research, habilitations, heads of junior research groups, and assistant professorships (equivalent to the EU research profile categories R1 to R3). The Graduate Center coordinates all structured doctoral programs and supports doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers and habilitation candidates, as well as supervisors of doctoral degrees and habilitations at FAU.
Information on Early Career Support
Moving Knowledge. Encouraging talent.
FAU has adopted principles for supporting researchers in the early stages of their careers, which provide guidance for attracting, supporting, and assisting outstanding scientists from around the world in the early stages of their careers, and establish a culture of appreciation, independence, and responsibility.
