Career Week for International Junior Researchers

Technische Universität Berlin's “Career Week for International Junior Researchers” - a cooperation project by the Alumni Program and the Center for Junior Scholars - aims at giving international PhD students and postdocs insights into the diversity of academic and non-academic career prospects on the German job market as well as information about requirements for non-EU nationals to work in Germany.

The event provides numerous Career Planning Sessions and brings together international junior researchers and alumni of Technische Universität Berlin who have successfully established their career in science, industry, public administration or entrepreneurship on the German labour market.

2023's "Career Week for International Junior Researchers" is taking place from 27 to 30 March and is offering a combination of in-person and virtual sessions. To register please click here.
