"I have been part of the PTS team for around 6 years as an Executive Assistant and look forward (almost ;-)) to working with my colleagues with their very different backgrounds every day. We are united by a team spirit and openness to each other's perspectives that cannot be taken for granted. Although I work in administration, I rarely get bored in my day-to-day work - the research landscape with its special conditions and diverse people constantly presents us with new and varied challenges. The location of PTS in Heidenau is also very special: situated directly on the Elbe between Dresden and the beautiful Saxon Switzerland, the commute to work and the view from the office offer postcard views that you miss in very urban regions. This is a real highlight, especially when the weather is bright."
