Funding Opportunities for Women in Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine has set itself the goal of equalizing gender inequality. The aim is to sustainably increase the proportion of female professors in the long term and to support female scientists early on in their careers. Despite considerable momentum in the last five years (2019-2023: Increase in the proportion of female professors from under 14% to over 24%), the proportion of female professors is still far too low.

On this page you will find offers for women from the faculty, the university and also from external providers. If you have any questions, please contact the Vice Dean's Office for Academic Development and Equal Opportunities.

In order to counteract the dropout of women after their doctorate, the Faculty of Medicine set up various support programs in the last term of office (4/2019-4/2023) under the leadership of the Vice Dean's Office for Academic Development and Equal Opportunities, with which the female scientific and medical staff of the Faculty of Medicine are supported at various qualification levels - especially after completing their doctorate and habilitation.
