Background: It is important to the ING School to recruit female academic and artistic staff and to support them in their academic careers. Against this background, the ING School has also committed itself to the university management with the target agreement to achieve a proportion of female academic and artistic staff of 20% by the deadline of 1 December 2024 (actual value as of 1 December 2020 in the ING School 17.9%). In this context, the Equal Opportunities Office of the ING School is publishing this call for applications.

The School of Engineering Sciences aims to increase the proportion of women in professorships, junior professorships, completed habilitation procedures and junior research group leaders.

In recent years, TU Dresden has taken increased measures to achieve the goals of a gender-equitable and family-friendly university. The existing central offers are listed here (without guarantee of completeness): https://tu-dresden.de/ing/der-bereich/chancengerechtigkeit/beratungsangebote-netzwerke-weiterbildungen

If individual needs are not covered by TU Dresden's existing programmes, female academics in the ING School who fall into the above-mentioned groups can apply for specific funding.

Procedure:

• Please contact the Equal Opportunities Officers in the ING School by e-mail/telephone and outline your needs. We will check with you whether your needs can be covered by existing TUD programmes.
•  If this is not the case, you can apply for specific material resources from the equal opportunities budget of the ING School. You will receive the necessary documents by email after the consultation.

Funding amount: Maximum of EUR 1,500 per application.

Deadline: Applications can be submitted on an ongoing basis.
