Careers in German universities and research institutes are difficult. Towards the end of your PhD or at the beginning of your postdoctoral years you need to decide whether you would like to continue your career up to a professorship or if you leave academia. This step is difficult for many PhD-students because until then they did not find or try alternative career paths. In the workshop we will first find out which competencies you have gained up until now. Based on the competencies we will explore the labour market and develop ideas for job profiles that fit you. You will receive an introduction to the job search. Furthermore we will discuss, if it might be an alternative to start your own business. In addition we will consider at what point „Plan B“ should begin: Up until when can one successfully leave academia? The next day single or small group coaching (one hour maximum) is offered to provide you with the opportunity to ask further specific questions. Appointments can be made during the workshop. Please bring an internet-enabled notebook or tablet with you – we will need this for the job search. |
