The offers from GRADUS are addressing all young scientists at the University of Stuttgart and are oriented towards each stage in their respective careers.
Whether you are a doctoral researcher, a postdoc, writing your habilitation, a junior professor or a tenure-track professor at the University of Stuttgart, or whether you are on track towards a management role in an extra-university research institution, in industry or in a social institution – whichever path you are on, the Graduate Academy supports you at the various stages of your career with a variety of offers. This is because our goal is for you to develop into a globally-thinking and inclusive person with the best possible preparation for high-level positions in science, business and society.
Supporting early career researchers - both those who choose to pursue an academic career, or a non-academic career - is a subject particularly close to our hearts, as this represents one of the University of Stuttgart's crucial contributions to a sustainable society.
Prof. Dr. Manfred Bischoff, Vice Rector for Research and Early Career Researchers
