Next steps

When you have submitted your CV and written pieces we will review your application. If invited for interview you are given the opportunity to discuss your CV, scientific achievements, overall experience and general motivations, as well as to ask your own questions about a career with Mewburn Ellis. A second interview is held for candidates who are put forward from the first round. Both interviews are virtual and if successful we’d invite you to come into the office to meet the team and see our Munich office.

At Mewburn Ellis we are passionate about diversity and inclusion and we are proud to recruit the best people, from every background.

Please be aware that we do receive a large number of applications, to all of which we give our full consideration. Be assured that we will respond as soon as we can but, particularly at peak times, this may take a week or so.

We wish you the best of luck with your application!
