Germany offers excellent research opportunities for EU/international PhD students and researchers. Universities and other higher education institutions as well as public- and private-sector non-university research institutions and large research funding organisations support international researchers with postdoctoral jobs and fellowships. Interesting development opportunities for international researchers also exist in research-intensive industry and with small and medium-sized enterprises. Many companies also work closely with universities and research institutions in application-oriented research and development.
Jointly organised by the German Academic Exchange Service, together with partner organisations and the network of DAAD Research Ambassadors in Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the ECR or Early Career Research symposia offer a platform for early career researchers to showcase their work in their subject fields. These aims to recognise and facilitate synergies amongst researchers and exchange of ideas in the wider fields of knowledge.
Germany offers many opportunities for Postdocs: You can become eligible for appointment to a professorship by completing the habilitation process, work as a junior professor or lead a junior research group. Industry also offers alternative career opportunities.
Germany offers international researchers a diverse research-oriented higher education landscape, globally recognised research institutions and a research-intensive industry that leads the world in many areas.
