Promotion of Early Career Researchers
The University of Ulm and the Medical Faculty, respectively, offer many possibilities to support experimental dissertations (Dr. med.), mobility, and independence of young investigators and in particular female researchers.
Promotion of early career researchers is also an important concern to our research group! In the following, you will find a compilation of relevant links, guiding you to your potential next funding or award. Don’t hesitate to contact the persons responsible for the respective programme.
Jana Riegger-Koch has benefited from many of these opportunities and is willing to share her experience – please feel free to contact Jana via mail (jana.riegger@uni-ulm.de).
