Welcome to the Munich Postdoc Network!

The Munich Postdoc Network is an initiative from the Postdoc Associations of the Helmholtz Munich, the Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences, the LMU Faculty of Biology, the LMU Biomedical Center Munich, the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry, the MPI for Biological Intelligence i.f., the MPI of Psychiatry and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). We aim to connect postdoctoral researchers working in the Munich area and facilitate communication among them. Moreover, we envision a wide collaborative organisation to identify areas of need and develop solutions to improve the postdoc experience.
