Junior research groups are an important component of a successful graduate school such as GSaME, as they can help to promote young scientists, support interdisciplinary research, foster research collaborations and increase the attractiveness of the graduate school.
The task of the junior research group leader is to independently integrate the topics of the clusters into a research context in a transdisciplinary manner within the framework of the GSaME's research subject and to contribute to the further development of the GSaME's research profile.
The junior research group leaders promote young scientists at the GSaME through interdisciplinary cooperation across cluster boundaries. They actively participate in the further development of the GSaME qualification programme, including through courses and seminars offered to doctoral students.
