#EXCELLerate. LMU postdoctoral career program

Our training program #EXCELLerate offers postdocs information and exchange opportunities on a wide range of career topics - from career planning and funding opportunities to work-life balance.

Benefit from our extensive range of services!

LMU offers researchers excellent conditions to develop their careers.

Right after a doctorate, graduates often have very fundamental questions: Which career path fits best? How can I become a professor? Which funding schemes are a good fit, and how do I write a competitive proposal? How can I explore and create career options in business and society? And how can I maintain a healthy work-life balance?

#EXCELLerate is a joint training programme of all LMU units that support postdoctoral researchers in their professional development.

LMU creates an environment that allows postdocs to fully unfold their potential and fosters individual career development. #EXCELLerate is designed to support postdocs in shaping their professional profile, unleashing their talents while reconciling these ambitions with private responsibilities. Our aim is to empower you in your future decisions.

Prof. Dr. Hans van Ess, Vice President for Research
