We don’t promise Google salaries.
But we offer something different:
Scientific freedom.
Stability.
Time to think deeply.
And colleagues who care more about ideas than metrics.

Germany isn't just Berlin.There are strong groups everywhere.Decentralization is a feature, not a bug.
In many places, you’ll have brilliant colleagues and more room to shine.

Strong research without toxic pressure.
You want to write good papers, not grind yourself to burnout.
In Germany, you get time to think - and breathe.
The system isn't perfect, but it’s sane.
