Key to our success is minimal hierarchy and bureaucracy, outstanding facilities, and core funding.

Candidates are expected to be postdocs looking to start their own research group. Junior Group Leaders have up to 8-year non-renewable appointments. All group leaders enjoy complete intellectual freedom to develop their own research. Generous core funding at the level of an ERC grant is provided.

The working language is English, and the environment is family-friendly, with subsidized on-campus child-care facilities.
