New Date: From Postdoc to Professorship!/? Academic Career Options, Requirements, and Strategies for Your Next Steps (two-day) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on April 29 and May 13, 2024.
Academic careers are risky business: as a postdoc, you have wide-ranging decisions to make about how further to develop your research and your career. This workshop helps you map out your next steps.
Through short impulses from the trainer, individual research and reflection, and group discussions, the workshop revisits and extends your understanding both of the conditions shaping academic careers in Germany and of the opportunities and challenges involved in international academic careers.
Aspects covered include:
• Permanent positions in academia: what they are and how to work towards them
• The postdoc phase in Germany: relevant positions, and their pros and cons
• Necessary achievements (publications, third-party funding and others): how to assess your situation
• How to develop your scientific profile and academic independence
• How to deal with the international dimension of research communities and academic careers
• How to network strategically
• What do you want to achieve, and how will you get there? : Formulating your goals and making a plan
In addition, there is room for your individual questions.
