Information for new PhD Students

1. You should subscribe to the phd-all mailinglist. You can do so on the GSI listserv. It is your only chance to get official announcments from GSI (as in: "Tomorrow there will be no electricity in building X" or "The owner of the car DA-XY 123 has 30 minutes to remove it before it gets towed".) On top of that you get PhD-related announcements regarding life and working conditions in the lab.
2. You should be aware who your current PhD-Representative is (2022 Christian Suerder, Simone Aumüller, Yannic Wolf). If you have trouble with your dissertation or with the graduate school (being at GSI you will probably be enrolled / soon be enrolled in HGS-HIRE), or the like you can ask them for mediation. If you encounter problems that you think come from a general problem with GSI or the graduate school or their rules we would also be the person to ask for help in changing these rules.
3. If you want to contribute to PhD-students social life, organize events like a PhD Barbequeue or help improve scholarship conditions, you can join the Promovierendenvertretung. You can reach them by contacting Student.Representative@gsi.de.
4. If you have any questions about student life at GSI, you can also contact Student.Representative@gsi.de
