Join us

We try to get the best possible people to PAIR. All our job offers are listed below. If you want to join the team, for a shorter or longer term, there are currently three options:

  1. Come for a job at PAIR (current and past offers below);
  2. Come via a PAIR Visiting Fellowship (or a DAAD Visiting Fellowship)
  3. Come with funding from your home country or institution, or from Germany / EU. If you are planning to apply for such funding, or already have funding secured, please get in touch with a CV and 1-page exposé.
    Possible funding sources: Germany / EU: A. v. Humboldt Research Fellowship, (& others), DAAD (also PRIME and another survey), DFG (from abroad: independent PI, Walter Benjamin, Georg Forster [developing countries], Emmy Noether), EU fellowships (global and European), EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowships – more opportunities can be found in the DAAD database and the overview “Research in Germany“. The responsible person for 3rd party funding at our faculty is Dr. Robert Fischer.
  4. Organise an event at PAIR with funding, e.g. Thyssen

We do not offer unpaid internships or unpaid PhD positions at the moment. (And we certainly do not offer PhD positions that you have to pay for – normally, there are no fees for students in Germany.)
