The international female program is a new SFB 880 initiative aimed at increasing the number of female researchers in the collaborative research center. The program is 6 months long and is aimed at female candidates who finished their Masters or their Doctorate degree and are interested in experiencing firsthand the research environment at TU Braunschweig and DLR. Each participant is paid for her research work based on 50% capacity for a E13 position (around 1078eper month after deductions). The candidates can select from several projects from various fields in the SFB 880. The description of each project can be found on the SFB 880 website under: https://www.sfb880.tu-braunschweig.de/index.php/en/services-en/internationalfemale-program
