Dual Career

Support for Dual-Career Couples

To attract the finest researchers to its location, it is essential not only to offer an exceptional scientific milieu but also to ensure that all other framework conditions are favourable. For this reason, the Max Planck Society has long supported the welcoming culture of its institutes through targeted measures, such as facilitating career opportunities for dual-career couples at a given location. The Max Planck Society collaborates within regional networks alongside other scientific organisations, local universities, and enterprises, and provides dual career services for the partners of research group leaders as well as directors. In doing so, the Max Planck Society enhances its attractiveness in the competition for top talent and contributes to equal opportunities for all employees, as well as to a better balance between work and family life. As a member of the Dual Career Network Germany, Max Planck continuously professionalises its service offerings and remains committed to the best practice quality standards of the DCND.

In each individual leaflet you will find information for research group leaders and directors.
