Career development at the IOER

The IOER offers a wide range of career development opportunities for scientists and staff in the science support sector. Within the framework of our research, we promote outstanding doctoral students, postdocs and senior scientists including work on habilitations, in line with the Leibniz Guidelines on Career Development. With the Dresden Leibniz Graduate School (DLGS) and the IOER Fellowships we also promote independent research to expand our profile and networks.

We attach great importance to the professional and personal development of all employees and a stimulating working environment. In guiding individual career paths, we strive to reconcile top research and transfer performance with a healthy and environmentally sound life. In career development, equal opportunities and diversity are essential to us.

We look forward to welcoming new colleagues and to working with fellows, visiting scholars, bachelor and master students, as well as our alumni. Together we research urgent questions of spatial sustainability transformations. We have outlined our long-term research perspective in our mission statement.
