Postdoctoral Researcher

The University of Koblenz is the youngest university in Germany - while also preserving a long-standing academic tradition. A mul
- titude of transdisciplinary research projects spanning several institutions concentrated on a compact campus favourably affects our

university routine. As the interdisciplinary university in the north of Rhineland-Palatinate with about 9,400 students, we live the

knowledge - transformation - innovation triad in our four profile areas „Education“, „Computer Science“, „Culture and ist Mediation“

as well as „Material and Environment“. We provide and conduct state-of-the-art teacher-training studies for all school types and

maintain the transfer of our research results to civic society and regional business in a resilient and sustainable way. Join an aspiring

university community and aid in advancing our further growth
