Research & teaching worldwide
The internationalisation of studies, teaching and research has been one of JLU's strategic priorities for many years. For postdocs at JLU, there are therefore numerous opportunities to expand their own research profile internationally. For example, you can benefit from existing agreements and networks at JLU - the International Office can advise you on these matters.
You can find out how internationality is weighted in your academic environment, whether a stay abroad is advisable, where such a stay could take place, and what period of time seems reasonable for working on a (sub-)research project. A teaching stay abroad can also be used to build up an international network or to prepare a research project.
As a postdoc at JLU, you can benefit from existing agreements and networks at JLU - the International Office at JLU can advise you on this.
If you are looking for a position at a university or research institution abroad, you can find it, for example, via the EURAXESS Germany job exchange.
Funding for travel abroad and international research projects
Die Internationalisierung von Studium, Lehre und Forschung gehört seit vielen Jahren zu den strategischen Schwerpunkten der JLU. Für Postdocs an der JLU stehen daher zahlreiche Angebote zur Verfügung das eigene Forschungsprofil auch international zu erweitern.
Sie können sich in Ihrem wissenschaftlichen Umfeld erkundigen, wie Internationalität gewichtet wird, ob sich ein Auslandsaufenthalt empfiehlt, wo ein solcher stattfinden könnte, und welcher Zeitraum für die Bearbeitung eines (Teil-)Forschungsprojektes sinnvoll erscheint. Auch ein Lehraufenthalt im Ausland kann zum Aufbau eines internationalen Netzwerks oder zur Vorbereitung eines Forschungsprojekts genutzt werden.
Als Postdoc an der JLU können Sie von schon bestehenden Abkommen und Netzwerken der JLU profitieren - das International Office der JLU berät Sie gerne.
Suchen Sie eine Stelle an einer Hochschule oder Forschungseinrichtung im Ausland, finden Sie diese zum Beispiel über die Stellenbörse von EURAXESS Deutschland.
