Dr. Karolin Gieseler as Coordinator for the Promotion of Young Researchers

Dr. Karolin Gieseler has been serving as the Coordinator for Early-Career Researcher Support at TUK since September 15. She has joined the administrative office of the TU Nachwuchsring and is responsible for matters concerning early-career researchers within the framework of the University of the Greater Region (UniGR). Her responsibilities include expanding the support services available to early-career researchers at TUK who have completed their doctorates—namely, postdocs, leaders of early-career research groups, habilitation candidates, junior professors, and tenure-track professors at TUK. To this end, she oversees, among other things, the “Research Funding” program of the TU Nachwuchsring and organizes workshops designed to develop interdisciplinary and personal skills. In addition, she supports collaboration and activities among UniGR partners aimed at cross-border support for early-career researchers within the university network.

Gieseler, who grew up in Bad Dürkheim, studied psychology in Münster, Clermont-Ferrand, and Saarbrücken. She then earned her Ph.D. in social psychology in Saarbrücken, focusing on self-control and mental effort. In her free time, she enjoys rock climbing on the region’s sandstone cliffs. She is looking forward to her new responsibilities and to working with her colleagues.
