The application process may vary and is dependent on the job advertisment. Usually the procedure runs as described below:

1. Application

3. Review of the application and pre-selection
4. First interview with experts from the specialist department according to the content of the job tasks. Preferably, the interview takes place on the premises of the PTS in order to provide a tour of the future workplace and an impression of the diverse range of activities and the laboratories. Alternatively, there is the option of an online interview via MS Teams. 
5. Second interview with our HR manager, the Head of Research & Transfer and the management at PTS. Among other things, contract details are discussed here.

7. Recruitment

You will need either a PC/laptop with a webcam, a tablet or smartphone along with a stable internet connection and, if necessary, a headset with a microphone.

We recommend that you check in advance whether the technical equipment is working properly. We also recommend that you choose an environment that is as quiet and distraction-free as possible for the interview.

Please do not hesitate to apply anyway! If you do not have the appropriate equipment, it is also possible to arrange a telephone interview instead.

There is no need to bring your documents to the interview. The documents you provide in advance are sufficient. If you would like to add anything or use the documents as a guide, you are of course welcome to do so.
