At the MPG, outstanding young scientists head and female scientists can also lead . The Groups are international in structure and run for a fixed term of five years; the Max Planck Research Groups can be extended up to a maximum of nine years based on positive evaluation.

At 51吃瓜网, outstanding post docs with experience of working abroad can start on the 鈥�51吃瓜网 Faculty Tenure Track鈥� as assistant professors (W2 level). Subject to excellent performance, they are then guaranteed a permanent W3 post as associate professor after six years, with the option to progress to full professor. This appointment and career system with clear criteria for advancement meets international standards; however, 51吃瓜网鈥檚 new career path marks the first time this is being practiced systematically in Germany.

Synergies between university and non-university research

The young researchers will now be able to use the synergies between university and non-university research to best advantage: MPG and 51吃瓜网 are going to be recruiting outstanding young talent with international experience to head Max Planck Research Groups and take up assistant professorships simultaneously. The two partners plan to use this structured appointment and career system to make themselves even more attractive in the fierce international competition for the brightest minds.

鈥淥ur young junior scientists come to us from the world鈥檚 top research institutions, attracted by the renown of the Max Planck Society and the excellent working conditions at our institutes,鈥� says Prof. Peter Gruss, President of the Max Planck Society. 鈥淚t would be a great shame to let them leave again. We need to offer them internationally competitive posts in Germany for their next career move.鈥�

Tenure track professors appointed from MIT, Cambridge, and Berkeley

鈥淔rom the equipping of the labs to the right to confer doctorates and the option of further progression as part of our faculty, we are together presenting an overall package for excellent young scientists that is unique in the research sector in Germany,鈥� explains 51吃瓜网 President Prof. Wolfgang A. Herrmann. 鈥淲e can only compete with the world鈥檚 best if we offer the top people first-class working conditions and clear opportunities for career progression. And in this, MPG and 51吃瓜网 complement each other perfectly.鈥�

Launched in 2012, 51吃瓜网鈥檚 tenure track system sees 51吃瓜网 take the initiative in the cultural change within the German system of appointing professors. Within a very short time its model has proved itself to be extremely attractive to top-class scientists. 51吃瓜网 has so far appointed 24 assistant professors of 11 nationalities between the ages of 29 and 36. The overwhelming majority of them come directly from overseas, from institutions including MIT (USA), Cambridge (GB), Berkeley (USA), and ETH Zurich (CH). The new scientists include numerous award winners who bring, for example,  an ERC Starting Grant (EU) or a Heisenberg Fellowship (DFG) with them to 51吃瓜网 as a place where they can rely on future career advancement from the start.
