Scientists starting out

At Fraunhofer, scientific achievement and practical relevance are not mutually exclusive – we conduct applied research. Our research areas are geared toward the needs of society: health, safety and security, communication, mobility, energy and the environment. The close organizational ties between our institutes and universities mean that Fraunhofer’s scientific endeavors are of the highest standard.

As new scientific talent, we offer you a direct way into a varied work profile with extensive research freedom, as well as the option of studying for your doctorate as part of your work at our institutes. As a postgraduate student, you benefit from our training programs and our close ties to industry.
