Group Leaders
Early Stage Group Leaders are appointed at an early stage of their career. They are usually building their first independent group. They are appointed for an initial period of 5 years and are usually granted an extension for another 4 years following an external review after 4 years.
Senior Group Leaders, together with Early Stage Group Leaders, form the core of our faculty. They are appointed for an indefinite period and develop and pursue long-term research programs, subject to regular independent review.
Guest Group Leaders are faculty members from our partnering universities or other research centers. They are invited according to the suitability of their expertise to our research program. They are affiliated for cycles of 5 years. They are invited to maintain a close relationship and collaboration with the Max Delbrück Center after the end of their appointment.
