Natural Sciences
"In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons." - Marie Curie (Physicist and Chemist)
To what extent is the Faculty of Natural Sciences committed to equal-opportunity career opportunities regardless of gender in its field? The FNW has developed concrete measures in this regard in its decentralized equality concept, which are listed below.
Concrete measures of the Faculty of Natural Sciences (Decentralized Equality Concept)
Students | "Suitable female students are targeted in job advertisements in the faculty in order to increase the proportion of women in physics." (Equality concept of the FNW, translated, p.31) |
Budget Positions |
"Within the framework of the permanent position concept and in the case of planned new appointments to budget positions, the faculty focuses on recruiting junior staff at an early stage, e.g. through qualification and personnel development or through training and taking on trainees. Special emphasis is placed on filling positions with persons of the respective underrepresented gender." (FNW Equal Opportunity Concept, translated, p.30) |
Middle Building |
"The faculty actively recruits good graduates from its own ranks, e.g. by involving them as research assistants, tutors and theses. The faculty actively recruits good graduates of its own, e.g. by involving them as research assistants, tutors and through theses. (Equality concept of the FNW, translated, p.30) |
Scientific staff and Doctors | "The faculty will regularly encourage its research assistants* and doctoral students* to participate in the funding programs offered, such as MeCoSa and COMETiN." (Equality Concept of the FNW, translated, p.32) |
Doctors and Professors |
"When professorships become vacant according to plan, the faculty will set up targeted measures in good time to increase the proportion of professorships held by women." (Equality concept of the FNW, p.30) |
