Dear postdocs and late-stage PhD students,

Welcome to the May issue of our monthly GAUSS Career Service Newsletter. As usual we provide you with information on events and courses organized by the GAUSS Career Service, funding calls, and job opportunities.

If you are unsure about your next career steps or require some support in your job application process (academic or non-academic), book an individual career counseling session or CV/application check by emailing Stefanie (career@gauss.uni-goettingen.de). Please note that there is currently a high demand in these sessions and the waiting time for an appointment will be longer than usual. So book your slot a bit in advance.

Please feel free to forward this e-mail to your peers who might be interested in the information but are not yet on our mailing list (register here). If you do not want to receive the newsletter anymore, please let us know and we will remove you from the mailing list.

All the best,
Stefanie and Christin
