POSTDOCS

Researchers who work at RWI after completing their doctorate help to shape independent research in the various areas of expertise and research groups: They enrich the existing topics with their contributions and have the opportunity to add further subject areas to our range of topics - in line with our strategy. Based on their research results, they advise policy-makers and communicate their findings to the general public. A diverse and lively research landscape in North Rhine-Westphalia and the Ruhr region also offers ideal conditions for networking with colleagues in other university and non-university research institutions.

RWI actively supports young postdocs in their career development: they are prepared for a career in or outside the academic system in a structured, graduated qualification process. Targeted further training opportunities, for example to develop leadership skills, and the increasing assumption of personnel and project responsibility are an important component of this. Our communications department actively supports them in transferring their research results to politics and society.
