A working environment close to science, a mission with high social relevance and the first-hand experience of constant change and progress - these aspects make working at the university particularly meaningful. In addition, a state-of-the-art workstation with a laptop, several screens if required and a personalised desk is a matter of course. University administration is now largely digitalised, making processes efficient.
"One area of my work is third-party funds, which is also super exciting. These tasks bring me very close to research. I think that's great about the university overall - you get to see an incredible amount of research. You can feel it throughout the building: everything is placarded with science. No matter where I go, I always read new things that interest me and where I think: exciting, I've learnt something again. That keeps me young and energised."

"In my work, I get to know a lot of different people and come into contact with different perspectives - scientific and non-scientific. If you're open to it and interested in it, the university gives you the opportunity to gain insights into areas that are rather closed to you in the private sector - where I previously worked - overall administrative processes, for example. I enjoy thinking outside the box, helping to shape things and looking for creative solutions to problems - all of this is possible and encouraged at Bielefeld University."
Anke Fleischer
"After all these years, the university has remained young for me; time and time again, it has the courage to change and build something new - and offers employees opportunities to get involved and help shape new structures, projects and fields. By creating a cooperative, familiar environment, the university helps employees to develop their own creativity."
