Working at the University of Mannheim
Appreciative, tolerant, fair and family-friendly – this is the University of Mannheim. And that's why we love the special working atmosphere and the many benefits here. Whether with professional experience, directly after graduation or for training – we, over 2,600 employees, look forward to meeting you!
I feel very comfortable working at the university and, in particular, in the University IT. You are given a lot of freedom in your work and have a say in shaping the university’s future. Due to its size, the University of Mannheim is very diverse, meaning there is a niche for everybody. People value the professional opinion of others and take other opinions into account, even if it is not be the easiest way. There is always a solution or a compromise. Our team work is great.
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.
The most important thing for me is the very good working environment at the university. At the HR department, we have a wonderful community and a great boss. Mutual appreciation and teamwork are part of our everyday life. It is fun to work in university administration since there is a huge variety of tasks. The field of work is diverse and multi-faceted, and not dull at all.
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.
