Young researchers at the faculty - TUD Young Investigators
Young heads of junior research groups can apply for a special status as "TUD Young Investigator" during their post-doc phase (with a decision of the faculty board). This status strengthens excellent, independent junior research group leaders by fostering their integration into the faculty and offering a qualification program tailored to their particular needs.
Every “TUD Young Investigator” will:
- choose a TUD university professor as a mentor and direct contact,
- be accepted by the faculty as an assessor and examiner in doctoral procedures, particularly concerning the dissertations they (co-)supervise,
- participate in teaching,
- be integrated into their respective faculty, including the possibility to attend public parts of Faculty Council meetings as a guest,
- get the opportunity to participate in a range of trainings specially designed to address the needs of academics in this qualification phase.
The title is awarded for a limited period of time and is linked to the duration of employment as an independent junior research group leader or ends with the departure from the TU Dresden or the appointment to a professorship.
The TUD Young Investigator of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences can be found in the complete list of the TU Dresden.
