The Hospital of the University of Munich, Germany, is one of the largest and most competitive university hospitals in Germany and Europe. 48 specialized hospitals, departments and institutions harbouring excellent research and education provide patient care at the highest medical level with around 11.000 employees.

Scope of duties

PROMISE is an Advanced Clinician Scientist Program for Comprehensive Neuroscience funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR). The program supports outstanding board-certified physicians in the field of neuroscience and related clinical disciplines, such as cardiology, oncology, ophthalmology, or (neuro-)radiology, who wish to pursue independent research alongside their clinical duties at the LMU University Hospital in Munich. PROMISE offers a 50:50 split of clinical duties and protected research time. This is combined with full scientific independence and access to an exceptional research ecosystem, including the Munich Excellence Cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy) and related collaborative research centres (CRCs). PROMISE fellows are appointed as group leaders and receive dedicated laboratory and office space, full autonomy in research strategy and team leadership, the possibility to recruit and supervise staff, and visibility as an independent principal investigator. PROMISE fellows will benefit from strategic support measures and an individualized qualification program to prepare for the next career stage. An individually assigned team of mentors will support the fellows in achieving their defined goals.
