Foundations, associations & societies
The so-called third or non-profit sector offers postdocs a diverse and rapidly growing field with foundations, associations and other non-governmental organisations.
There is no separate qualification path for entry into foundation and association work. Many of the positions that are of interest to postdocs require - in addition to specialist knowledge, for example for specialist officer positions in the funding department of a foundation - above all interdisciplinary skills such as flexibility, the ability to work in a team, creativity, solution orientation and the ability to network and manage projects.
