If you have questions about teaching, acquiring third-party funding, support for families and other issues, you will find the right contact points below. If you are unsure who to contact with your questions, you are welcome to ask the Welcome and Service Desk for Doctoral Candidates and Postdocs. We will be happy to put you in touch with the right contact person at the university for your specific problem and provide you with initial information.
