Online Seminar

From Postdoc to Professorship!? Academic Career Options, Requirements, and Strategies for Your Next Steps (two-day) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]

Dienstag, 27. Mai 2025, 9:00-15:30
Online

The event will be held in English and run for two days, on May 27 and 28, 2025.

 

Academic careers are risky business: as a postdoc, you have to make wide-ranging decisions about how to develop your research and your career. This workshop will help you plan your next steps.

 

Through short impulses from the trainer, individual research and reflection, and group discussions, the workshop will deepen your understanding of both the conditions that shape academic careers in Germany and of the opportunities and challenges of 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? Formulate your objectives and make a plan

 

There will also be room for your individual questions.
