Helmholtz Distinguished Professorship – Call 2025

Within the framework of the Joint Initiative for Research and Innovation, the Helmholtz Association is intensifying its efforts to attract outstanding female scientists from abroad to the upper management levels.

Full professorship positions are a defining element of any research institution. As joint appointments with universities, they are also an important link between the non-university research organization Helmholtz and its university partners. Together, we offer top female researchers a professorship at W3 level with the “Helmholtz Distinguished Professorship” program.
