Additional Notes

I am hired under a mobility scheme where the promoter/supervisor does not need to pay income tax for up to 3-years. As a downside, such positions are not considered typical employment, and thus have very little to no social benefits.

The netto (not brutto) salary is strictly regulated by regional authorities. The provided salary numbers were before the index readjustment and were calculated using index 212,23.

Working hours and work-life balance depend heavily on the research group and may be very different across different postdoc positions.
