Education for early-career researchers
Graduate education for PhD students and postdocs

- The PIER Helmholtz Graduate School (PHGS) ensures that doctoral candidates recieve an internationally recognized and optimally supervised education in their respective research fields. Our graduate school has a wide and interdisciplinary scope, offers a high-degree of service-orientation, and focuses on transferable skills training.
- The PIER Education Platform (PEP) for both doctoral and postdoctoral researchers is a cooperation of research schools on the the science campus Bahrenfeld. PEP offers transferable skills training, language courses, career orientation and interdisciplinary scientific training for young scientists. The portfolio is tailor-made for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers and focuses on the needs in the respective stage of the individual research projects - from research effectiveness for first year PhD students to career advice and networking events for postdocs.
