Career Perspectives in Administrative Work

Our administrative community reflects the full diversity of the University. We work flexibly, take into account different life situations, and create space for self-determined work. The thematic diversity opens up a wide range of possible deployment options and the opportunity to actively support research, teaching and services. Thanks to the central location of our premises, we work in an attractive and inspiring working environment in the heart of Bern.
