Supporting your search for employment at the University or within the region - contacts and application procedures

If you are the partner of a University employee and plan to relocate to Siegen or have been living here for a short time we support your search for a suitable career opportunity by providing personal consultation, information and support throughout the entire application process. This includes one-on-one consultancy meetings addressing career and application topics, as well as putting you in contact with relevant experts both within and outside the university. If your career is in science, we can help you find information about applying for research fellowships and help you establish your own professional networks.

Located in a triangle made up of the federal lands of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse, we maintain and foster contacts with universities and other academic or non-academic institutions as well as companies both within our region and beyond.
