Dr Jayan Wijesingha is principal investigator (PI) on the DFG FOR5903 Sustainable Rurbanity - Resources, Society, and Regulatory Systems. As a PI he has the same rights and duties as other PIs with professorial status. But at the same time, he is still in the career development phase (Established Researcher/R3). For those who are considering accepting a PI role he will share his experience from the DFG Research Unit – both positive and challenging.
