Ombudspersons
As the first point of contact for problems of all kinds, e.g. scientific misconduct, (sexual) discrimination and much more, we have ombudspersons in every status group of the ICBM, including the PostDocs.
Unfortunately, the following website is in german only, however, most if not all ombudspersons listed on this page speak english.
ICBM PhD representatives
ICBM PhD representatives
As ICBM doctoral representatives, we are an important interface between the doctoral students on the one hand and the ICBM board of directors, the ICBM committees and the scientific coordinator for young researchers on the other.
As a contact partner we support the exchange of scientific experiences and the contact within doctoral students at ICBM and between the partner institutions of the University of Oldenburg. Our aim is to focus on the concerns, needs and interests of all young researchers at ICBM and to represent them in various committees. We participate in the meetings of the ICBM Institute Council in an advisory capacity.
Doctoral students can contact us if they have problems with their working environment, supervision or questions regarding their doctorate. We want to promote contact and exchange among doctoral students and organize regular meetings for doctoral students in Oldenburg and Wilhelmshaven. We are in close contact with the organizers of the ICBM PhD Days and the ICBM PhDs: Connected Colloquia.
ICBM PhD representatives are elected annually at the ICBM PhD Days or ICBM PHDs: Connected Colloquia.
ICBM PHD representatives are member of the ICBM council (ICBM Institutsrat), as well as in the admission and examination boards of the OLTECH PhD programmes

Bodies in which PHDs can participate
PhD representatives support doctoral candidates in many matters. There are various committees and organisations at the university in which doctoral student representatives can be active:
OLTECH PhD representatives
PhD representatives are members in OLTECH Governing Board and OLTECH coordination meeting with other Phd program coordinators
Graduate Academy
The task of the Doctoral Candidate Representation Committee (“Promovierendenvertretung”) is to consult about issues related to doctoral candidates and to give advice to the university’s bodies.
