Clinician Scientist CareerS - Group

The IZKF is a partner in the Clinician-Scientist-Program CareerS  of the Faculty of Medicine and supports the CareerS Group modul. This module offers physicians in advanced clinical training and in the early years of their specialist medical training start-up funding to establish their own research group and to acquire further external funding. Decisive for this important career step into a scientific leadership position are, on the one hand, protected research time and, on the other hand, the acquisition of leadership skills. Along this path, we wish to support you with flexible financial resources and a network that assists you at all levels.

Applications for the CareerS Group funding format are coordinated via the Clinician Scientist Program CareerS. If you are interested, please contact the program coordinator, Dr. Silke Jamitzky.
