Working at the IRS

At a social science institute, the employees with their expertise, qualifications and motivation are the most important and strategically significant resource. It is therefore a key management task and objective at the IRS to create the best possible conditions for the development and commitment of all employees - in both academic and research-supporting areas.

The IRS understands itself as a place of learning, where overlaps of the goals of the Institute and the staff members´ personal career goals are productively searched for and exploited. This includes measures of individual support – for instance for doctoral candidates and post-docs – as well as achieving a work-life balance.
