Young researchers actively explore their career options, learn career development methods, build a network, and improve their networking strategies.
This is made possible through: specific trainings, workshops & lectures. We offer everyone a framework for a fruitful mentoring partnership.

Analysis, visualisation and statistics using R for Environmental Scientists
This will be an introduction course intended to give students and doctoral researchers an overview and introduction to R applied to analysing environmental data, with specific emphasis on chemical datasets. The course will begin with a brief introduction to the R environment and basic function and then include an overview of statistical analyses that are valuable in environmental datasets. The doctoral researchers and master students will be able to use R efficiently and they will be able to improve their scientific work with the possibilities of R.

Environmental Sciences and Biodiversity
Doctoral (degree) programme/PhD (study) programme 'Environmental Sciences and Biodiversity'
Profile of the PhD programme
To get a general idea of the PhD Study Programme 'Environmental Sciences and Biodiversity' take a look at the overview.
Current programme
We offer a three year PhD with courses in three different modules:
- Specialised scientific knowledge (eng./germ.)
- Communicative competences (eng./germ.)
- Systemic competences and soft skills (eng./germ.)
The core of the programme is an independent doctoral research project in one of the participating research groups.
In addition to their scientific research, students have to take courses in three main areas (30-60 credit points):
Specialised scientific knowledge
In these courses students broaden and deepen their scientific knowledge in the context of their field of research and acquire the necessary skills to perform their laboratory work. Students take an active part in colloquia, congresses, summer schools and lab visits abroad (at least 12 credit points).
Communicative competence
Students are trained in communication and presentation techniques and improve their expertise in knowledge transfer (at least 6 credit points).
Interdisciplinary competences and soft skills
Students can develop strategies and expertise for their scientific career. The main issues are data management (statistics), project management, scientific writing, publishing own research results, writing proposals for grants and funds, and training for job application (at least 6 credit points).
