The TRR 274 is committed to fostering the growth of its researchers at every stage of their careers. We offer a variety of support measures designed to help early-career scientists, as well as more advanced researchers, develop and advance their professional paths.
Below, you will find general information about the available support opportunities. For detailed information regarding the application process and monetary compensations, please refer to the password-protected internal webpage.
Clinician Scientist Program
A central goal of the TRR 274 is to support early-career medical researchers who aspire to establish a strong research profile in CNS regeneration while also fulfilling their medical residency duties. We are dedicated to helping these researchers balance their clinical responsibilities with their scientific ambitions, enabling them to pursue a successful career in medical science.
Early Module.
for residents in the early stages of their residency
(years 1-3 of their residency)
• Protected research time (12 months, 80%)
• 80% of salary support
• Clinical and scientific mentoring
.
Advanced Module.
for clinical residents in late stages of their residency
(> 3 years within residency)
• Protected research time (24 months, 50%)
• 50% of salary support
• Clinical and scientific mentoring
• Start-Up allowance of up to € 13.200
Both programs offer protected research time, alongside clinical and scientific mentoring and supervision from senior scientists within the TRR 274. This ensures that early-career researchers receive the support they need to thrive in both their clinical and scientific roles.
All Principal Investigators are notified when a call for applications opens. Detailed information about the available modules and the necessary application documents can be found on the internal page.
Gender equality & family support
TRR 274 is deeply committed to promoting gender equality and fostering a family-friendly working environment. Our primary goals include increasing the number of female scientists in advanced scientific positions, supporting their career advancement, and creating a supportive atmosphere for all members.
As many of these measures are highly individualized and assessed on a case-by-case basis, please contact the coordinator for detailed information on eligibility and application procedures.
Softskills, Seminars & Workshops
We offer targeted programs aimed at enhancing scientific career advancement, independence, and work-life balance.
Mentoring and Coaching
Our mentoring and coaching initiatives are designed to support female scientists in planning their career steps, managing conflicts and developing leadership skills.
Networking Events
We facilitate networking opportunities to help female scientists build connections and advance their careers.
Day Care Expense Support (NEW)
We provide financial support for short-notice babysitters, childminders, and unforeseen sudden childcare expenses (aimed at care for children for whom there are usually too few places available)
Student Helpers During Leave
Extra funding is available to hire student helpers during maternity, parental leave, or family caregiving periods. This funding is additional to project funds.
Childcare Support Outside Regular Hours
We offer childcare assistance during times when regular day-care facilities are closed, particularly during TRR-specific events like seminars or retreats.
Parent-Child Rooms at the Workplace
We are establishing designated spaces for parents and their children, including “Kids Boxes” (mobile wooden boxes filled with toys) for children to use while parents work in the office.
Home-Office Implementation
We support the setup of home offices, covering costs for essential equipment like laptops, printers, and software, provided these expenses are not already funded by the university.
Young investigator support
At TRR 274, we are dedicated to empowering the next generation of scientists. Our mission is to provide comprehensive support to young investigators at both the PhD and Postdoc levels, helping them advance their careers and make significant contributions to the scientific community.
We offer a range of resources tailored to the needs of young researchers, including funding opportunities, and access to cutting-edge research facilities. Our goal is to equip you with the tools and support you need to excel in your scientific career.
Welcome Office
TRR 274 is dedicated to easing the transition of scientists from diverse cultural backgrounds into our research consortium through the support of our Welcome Office. This office serves as a dedicated contact point for graduate and postgraduate students joining TRR 274 from abroad.
The Welcome Office assists with navigating administrative matters such as visas and work permits, finding housing, and supporting partners and families with locating suitable schools or childcare. Our goal is to ensure that all new members can focus on their research and integration into our community with minimal stress.
In case you need any assistance, please contact the coordinator.
