GEOMAR as an employer

Diversity, Inclusion & Equal Opportunity at GEOMAR

We welcome applications from everyone – regardless of nationality, background, beliefs, age, identity, or orientation. GEOMAR is committed to equality and diversity, as reflected in our GEOMAR 2030 strategy and our third Total Equality award in 2023.

We actively promote gender equality under the Federal Equality Act. If women are underrepresented in a role, they will be given priority when equally qualified. We also strongly support the inclusion of people with severe disabilities – qualified applicants will be given preferential consideration.

Creating a diverse, inclusive, and fair workplace where everyone can thrive is not just a goal – it’s part of who we are.

We expressly renounce the submission of application photos.
