Five postdocs in five weeks

In the five weeks leading up to Postdoc Appreciation Week, five postdocs from the University of Münster will introduce themselves and their research.

They answer questions like “What does a typical day in your postdoc life look like?”, “What fascinates you most about your research?” or “What is the best piece of advice you have received as a researcher?”

Keep an eye on this website and SAFIR’s LinkedIn profile from mid-August to learn more!

Starting from 17 August
