Salary Outlook

Typical range

The stated annual salary (e.g., TV-L E13: €50,000–€65,000 for 100%) refers to a full-time position. In practice, many universities and public research institutes (such as Leibniz institutes) offer part-time contracts, commonly 50%, 65%, or 75%, and only occasionally 100%. The actual salary is therefore proportional to the contract percentage. Applicants are strongly advised to clarify the employment percentage before accepting an offer.

Fresher, mid-level, and experienced ranges are linked to external sources so they stay auditable for applicants.

Requirements

Academic Admission

Candidates must fulfil the doctoral programme admission requirements of the university at which they wish to enrol. Specifically, candidates must have obtained a degree in a relevant field of study (with a standard duration of five years) with at least the second best possible marks, according to the Bologna Accord or the equivalent thereof. In general, candidates are required to be able to engage in scientific research independently. They must therefore have the knowledge and abilities necessary for such endeavours as well as being theoretically and methodically competent in relation to the subjects at hand.
