Helmholtz Career Development Centers for Researchers

Researchers have to make important decisions about their future career, especially after they have completed their doctorate.

To support them in this process, we offer special advice centers: TheHelmholtz Career Development Centers for Researchers support postdocs in their career planning and point out career paths.

High quality standards apply to the work of the advice centers. This applies, for example, to the qualification of their career advisors and the analysis of impact and results.
