For most of the year, Rostock (at the Baltic Coast) is a number one vacation area in Germany, with a very pleasant
climate and nice beaches nearby. The University strives for a high proportion of women in research and teaching.

costs for interviews is not possible according to the rules of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
