Purpose
OFFIS is the leading research and development institute in Lower Saxony in the field of computer science. We are oriented towards people, their needs and the necessity of preserving the environment. Our research always follows ethical principles and the standards of good scientific practice. Research for and on weapons has no place in OFFIS. OFFIS stands for innovation in action. "We think ahead" is more than a slogan for us!
Work Culture
We are aware of and embrace the scope and responsibility of our research. We seek to solve the challenges of an interconnected world in a fact-based manner and in peaceful, international, democratic cooperation. All employees are committed to ensuring that people are not disadvantaged or defamed because of their skin color, origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation or impairments. We explicitly promote equal rights and inclusion for all people.
Teamwork
Teamwork is the core of our daily work! Therefore, our appreciative and at the same time professional interaction with each other is characterized by respect, openness and commitment. We regularly exchange ideas in different formats. We attach great importance to the transparency of our work and its results!
Further Education
The very principle of research is closely linked to curiosity. To this end, we must always be open to new things and learn more. For this reason, we support the continuing education of our colleagues. Offers run throughout the year as part of our personnel development measures. This also includes certifications such as the IPMA project management certifications or the iSAQB certification.
Benefits
Benefits are always a good thing, right? ;-) The health of our colleagues is for example an important aspect for us. Here we support you within the framework of our company health management. And our company physician is the contact person for all matters relating to medical occupational safety.
Oldenburg
Oldenburg is not only a great location for our institute - the city can also be for you personally and of course for your family! Why? We like to quote the city's Welcome Center here: Oldenburg is family-friendly, green, diverse, a bicycle city, tradition-conscious, yet dynamic.
