The Ruhr-University Bochum is one of the leading research universities in Germany. The
university draws its strengths from both the diversity and the proximity of scientific and
engineering disciplines on a single, coherent campus. This highly dynamic setting enables
students and researchers to work across traditional boundaries of academic subjects and
faculties.

At Ruhr-Universität Bochum, we wish to promote careers of women in areas in which they are
underrepresented, and we would therefore like to encourage female candidates to send us
