Professor wanted! Planning and optimizing your academic career (with Dr. Dieta Kuchenbrandt)

After a very successful event last year, we have decided to offer Dr. Dieta Kuchenbrandt's workshop again this year. Here are some voices from last year:

"This was the most useful workshop I have attended so far. I am very grateful for such an opportunity."

"WE NEED MUCH MORE OF THOSE!!!! And this should be mandatory for every Phd!"

The postdoc years are essential for academic career development. During this period, scientists are often torn between conflicting priorities of intellectual independence, on the one hand, and meeting professional obligations towards their employers, on the other hand.

Postdocs are expected to develop an independent publication record, apply for external funding, create a distinct research profile, build a teaching portfolio, communicate their research, build a network, undertake research stays abroad, etc. etc.

• Which of these tasks are particularly important?
• What are the top priorities?
• Which time frame is appropriate and compatible with my personal private priorities?
• How important is the habilitation?

The first part of the seminar will be dedicated to learning about and evaluating the various requirements for a long-term career in academia (Focus: Germany).

Based on this, you will review your current academic

profile. Following this reflection, you will develop and specify your next goals and the major steps towards qualifying for a long-term academic career.

The spaeker of the workshop is Dr. Dieta Kuchenbrandt (graduate psychologist). Here you have the possibility to read her CV.
