Why I recommend Bonn

For a young researcher with intellectual curiosity and wide horizons, seeking both to deepen his or her disciplinary expertise and to profit from innovative inter- and transdisciplinary research groupings, Bonn University is an excellent place to spend several years after receiving one’s doctorate. The new Transdisciplinary Research Areas are looking for young scholars seeking both intellectual challenges and a conducive academic atmosphere.
