At SECAI, we are open about our research and always like to welcome new researchers to our teams in Dresden and Leipzig. This page lists suggestions for research topics that are currently available, organized by Research Focus Area, together with mentors and host institutions. Have a look around to see which topics excite you most and best match your skills!
Funded positions in the SECAI Graduate School are announced on our jobs page and typically start in autumn. However, even if there are no open positions announced in SECAI at this time, you can always contact the mentor of the topic you are interested in. There are many opportunities in our groups, and SECAI also supports affiliated researchers who are funded from different sources.
