IAMO Council of Doctoral Researchers
About 50 scientists are currently doing their doctorates at IAMO. They have their own elected representation, the IAMO Council of Doctoral Researchers. The IAMO Council of Doctoral Researchers represents the interests of all doctoral researchers at IAMO. The goals are to strengthen the rights and opportunities of doctoral researchers at the Institute and foster exchange between them.

Activities

The Council of Doctoral Researchers organises regular meetings of doctoral researchers, where they discuss issues related to doctoral researchers life at IAMO and in Halle (Saale). Key topics include working consitions at IAMO, the enrolment at the university, the choice of doctoral researchers courses, examination procedures and career opportunities. The Council of Doctoral Researchers cooperates with different interest groups at IAMO (Staff Council, Equality Opportunities Commissioner, Graduate School Coordinator, etc.).
The IAMO Council of Doctoral Researchers is also active in the Leibniz PhD Network which represents the interests of doctoral researchers at the level of the Leibniz Association and promotes exchange among doctoral researchers candidates of different Leibniz Institutes. If you are interested to participate in the work of the network, please let us know.
