Dual Career
We can also assist your partner in searching for a job. Your partner's career plans may be a decisive factor in any appointment negotiations. If you decide in favor of Hamburg, your partner might also want to look for a suitable position or career options. Universität Hamburg cooperates closely with affiliated research institutions as well as with the Hamburg authorities and private companies. Thus we are also able to support your partner in the application process. Universität Hamburg's service for international academics joined the Dual Career Network Germany in 2010.
