WHAT´S NEXT? Develop your postdoc career!
As a successor program to the Maria Reiche Mentoring Program, we are launching WHAT'S NEXT Develop your postdoc career! 2022 a new program phase for the target group of female postdocs and postdoctoral researchers. With this program, developed especially for this qualification phase, we would like to invite all female scientists at TU Dresden and at all Dresden-concept institutions to actively plan and advance their postdoc career.
How does my next career step look like? How do I prepare myself for the challenges in research, teaching and management? Can I lead a team? How do I negotiate my next job? These and many other questions are addressed by the 12-month qualification and networking program which startes in April 2022.
It accompanies female scientists across disciplines, especially in the acquisition of interdisciplinary skills through a variety of workshops, keynote speeches, networking meetings, and coaching. The opportunity for individual counseling is also part of the program.
All female postdocs and postdoctoral researchers can apply for the programm.
Please include in your application for the program:
- a letter of motivation,
- your current academic CV and
- this questionnaire..
The career program takes place in close cooperation with the Academia mentoring program as part of the joint Postdoc Centers TUD HZDR under the umbrella of the Graduate Academy of the TUD. Therefore, female scientists admitted to the mentoring program can also participate in WHAT'S NEXT. Those not participating in the mentoring program should apply directly for the WHAT'S NEXT program.
We are looking forward to receiving your application by March 8, 2022:
