You are inter­ested, but you don’t think you meet all the require­ments of the job post­ing? Then you should know: We don’t hire resu­mes, we hire people. We are look­ing for poten­tial and want to act­ively fos­ter it. That‘s why we encour­age you to apply!

• An open and cre­at­ive team
• Agile work­ing hours and work­flows
• Cross-dis­cip­lin­ary pro­jects
• Work on future tech­no­lo­gies
• Flat hier­arch­ies for your ideas and flex­ible teams
• Com­pet­it­ive salary

If you have pas­sion for new tech­no­lo­gies and the desire to deve­lop the con­nec­ted world of tomor­row with us, we are look­ing for you.

Life and sci­ence are com­pat­ible at our insti­tute. We offer a range of recog­nised fam­ily-fri­endly meas­ures, such as part-time work, mobile work­ing and flex­ible work­ing hours that take fam­ily needs into account. We also offer sup­port for arriv­ing in Dres­den (all form­al­it­ies, apart­ment etc.).

Your app­lic­a­tion should include: motiv­a­tion let­ter, CV, copy of uni­ver­sity degree cer­ti­fic­ate, short sum­mary of Mas­ter the­sis.

App­lic­a­tions from women are par­tic­u­larly wel­come. We only accept com­plete doc­u­ments as one sin­gle PDF doc­u­ment by e-mail to careers@barkhauseninstitut.org. Please ref­er­ence “Secur­ity PhD-2021” in the sub­ject line. App­lic­a­tions that con­tain other file for­mats (e.g. Word, Excel) will not be con­side­red in the selec­tion pro­cess. Infor­mal inquir­ies can also be sub­mit­ted to the same address.

The data sub­mit­ted by you in the course of the app­lic­a­tion pro­ced­ure will be pro­ces­sed by the Bark­hau­sen Insti­tut (BI). BI shall use the data for the pur­poses of the app­lic­a­tion pro­ced­ure. No data shall be pas­sed on to third par­ties.
