Working at the University of Mannheim
Appreciative, tolerant, fair and family-friendly – this is the University of Mannheim. No matter if you are an experienced professional, have just graduated, or want to start vocational training – we, more than 2,600 employees, are looking forward to meeting you!
As academic staff member at the University of Mannheim I particularly value the freedom of research granted by the university as my employer and my supervisor. I can work on the topics I think are important and exciting and I can participate in national and international conferences. Personally, I think that this is very important.

It is a great responsibility but also greatly rewarding to work together with bright young minds at the University of Mannheim. The Mannheim spirit is really special. Our students, teachers, and staff members are all very committed to the university. They all do everything they can to be an outstanding university and are making a real contribution to making our and thus my work meaningful. I am very grateful for that.

What I love most about my job is the variety of tasks, the friendly working atmosphere, and the short distances on campus. After my parental leave, I took a new position at the President’s Office. For my projects, I work with people from all areas of the university. The ambition and dedication of our researchers and teachers who work on the latest scientific findings still fascinates me every day. I am happy to support them with my work.
