The HMU Health and Medical University is a private, state-recognised university based in Potsdam. It began offering courses in two faculties in the 2020/21 winter semester. In addition to the state examination programme in human medicine (Faculty of Medicine), HMU also offers Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes at the Faculty of Health with university and university of applied sciences degrees. Our co-operation partner for medical training is the Ernst von Bergmann Hospital in Potsdam.
Both campus locations in Potsdam, the Villa Carlshagen and the Schiffbauergasse, are located directly on the lake and offer optimal conditions for a unique learning and working atmosphere in the middle of the greenery of the state capital Potsdam.
We are looking for a researcher (f/m/d) to support our team as a scientific doctoral candidate/scientific assistant (equivalent to E13/50% for three years) at the Schiffbauergasse location with the possibility of remote work as soon as possible. The project is funded by the Helmut Ecker Stiftung (https://www.helmut-ecker-stiftung.de).
