The São Paulo Office of Freie Universität Berlin, the Liaison Office for Latin America of Technical University of Munich, the Brazil Center of the University of Münster, the Latin American Office of the University Alliance Ruhr and Technische Universität Berlin cordially invite prospective post-doctoral researchers to an Opportunities Workshop in Belo Horizonte on June 06, 2019.

Doing a PostDoc in Germany means to work in an international and competitive system with a lot of opportunities to enhance your research career and your international network. We invite you to get to know the German system and opportunities for your research stay at German top universities. Learn about PostDoc career steps, financial grants and benefits and get in contact with other interested researchers and PostDocs that have recently returned from Germany.
