Before joining “Decoding Antisemitism” Susanne worked at the headquarters of the Leibniz Association – a German research infrastructure that comprises 96 research institutes from various disciplines. At the funding department, she enjoyed advising academics on the development of project applications and getting excellent project ideas off the ground.

Prior to that, Susanne coordinated collaborative research networks funded by BMBF at Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) and Centre Marc Bloch (CMB). She was a research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanites (KWI), and a visiting scholar at the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of Turin. In her Franco-German PhD she analysed the social conditions and the dark side of the help offered to the Jews during National Socialism.
