Select Your Representatives at WIN!


Dear Early Career Researchers at UR,

All of you who are currently pursuing a doctorate or who are obtaining further academic qualifications after completing your doctorate are warmly invited to participate in the selection process of your representatives on the WIN boards.

The Advisory Board (Beirat) will have one person respectively as a representative from each of these three groups:

  • Doctoral researchers who are members of structured programs,
  • Doctoral researchers who are not members of structured programs, and
  • Researchers obtaining further qualifications after their doctorate like postdocs and candidates working on their habilitation.

All three positions need to be filled for the winter term 2025-26 and the summer term 2026. Additionally, two of these three will also represent the early career scientists and scholars in the Executive Board (Leitungsgremium) of WIN. ?

The composition and the responsibilities of both of these boards are written in the statute of the WIN. The current representatives of the three groups are happy to provide information on their work. If you have any questions about WIN or the procedure please turn to Angela Weil-Jung the executive director of WIN.
