Career

Present your research findings, meet new people, discover common interests, and initiate new joint projects – on November 4, 2021 postdocs have a forum of their own. Additionally if you’d like to know what research has to do with improv theater, don’t miss Uri Alon’s keynote talk.

The HIDA Trainee Network’s third call for application is open. Once again, it offers doctoral researchers and postdocs the opportunity to gain interdisciplinary experience in an exchange with another Helmholtz center. In this way, the Trainee Network provides new impulses for collaboration between the centers and builds a vibrant community of data scientists.

The postdoctoral training period lasts up to six years – and then what? The MDC’s ASPIRE program offers guidance to those who are unsure about the next step. Dr. Jean-Yves Tano from the MDC career center, which also takes care of postdocs, coordinates the MDC’s career development services. He talks about the opportunities ASPIRE offers participants.

The HIDA Trainee Network is back for a second time in 2021. The exchange program promotes interdisciplinary networking between young scientists at Helmholtz and helps them learn from one another

PhD candidates now have the opportunity to apply for two new training programs. The EU is supporting the program for talented early-stage researchers at the MDC and other European research institutions to the tune of €4 million per network.

On September 23 data scientists can find out more about career opportunities in applied data sciences at a virtual career fair. The “Helmholtz Virtual Data Science Career Day“ with several virtual keynotes and over 20 exhibitors is free of charge for participants.

Single cell technologies for Personalized Medicine – The Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB) of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin are launching a joint research initiative.

By mid-2020 two new cryogenic electron microscopes (cryo-EM) will be available to scientists at the Buch campus. The building is almost finished, and the first crates of equipment were delivered in December. There’s still a lot to do, however, before everything is up and running.

What comes after my PhD, and how will my title help me? Not just at the MDC, young researchers are asking this question. The Career Day offers them opportunities to receive inspiration and pointers for their career planning.

For the “International Day of Girls and Women in Science” on 11 February 2019, the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) presents ten video portraits of inspirational women scientists. Among them are four videos about scientists working at the MDC.
