The GHI supports the equal treatment of all employees and strives to offer an attractive workplace for disabled persons and other heretofore underrepresented groups and fulfill the provisions of being an equal opportunity employer.

To implement this policy, the GHI offers flexible work hours to the extent practicable for the requirements of each position.

In application procedures, those who are members of groups that are currently underrepresented at the institute are encouraged to apply.

The GHI, together with the Max Weber Foundation, advocates for partners of employees deployed from Germany to receive work permits for the United States so that they can continue their own careers.

Work and Family

The question of work-life balance is crucial for many parents and dual-career couples when considering whether to apply for a particular job.  If you have specific questions about flexible work arrangements, or about relocating with your family or partner to live and work in the Washington region, we encourage you to contact the institute’s equality ombudswoman (Gleichstellungsbeauftragten der Max Weber Stiftung) at gleichstellung@ghi-dc.org.
