female university researchers in our field (in Germany) lies
between 21% and 29%. Our goal is to increase these numbers! So
come and learn what an academic career looks like at the Ruhr
University Bochum and discover its advantages. You'll be
introduced to the university and it's support structures, be able
to participate in university wide programs, meet with female
faculty, listen to some amazing scientific talks, present your
research, and see what collaborative research looks like in the
RUB memory research community.</p>
