Junior Research Groups at the University Medical Center Göttingen

A researcher looks at data.

By establishing junior research groups, outstanding young scientists are given the opportunity to independently conduct their own research projects and to establish a research group. The leadership of a junior research group supports the scientists in their early qualification for leading research positions.

At the University Medical Center Göttingen, junior research groups are characterized by a separate, well -defined funding of a research program which the junior research group leaders have usually received in a competitive procedure involving external evaluation.

The following junior research groups are currently being funded at the University Medical Center Göttingen:
