Goals of the Career Training Courses

We provide career training courses that are mandatory for all fellows of the IHRS BioSoft, independent at which of the member institution they are based at. Furthermore, a continuous counseling is offered by the Jülich Career Center to all course participants. The set of three courses is tailored to the needs of PhD students in the various phases of their thesis projects. By supporting structure and guidance for career discussions with supervisors and mentors, the courses help strengthening the relationships between PhD students and supervisors.

Most of the IHRS BioSoft courses are open to all interested colleagues. This particular training offer is open to fellows only. If you are interested to become a fellow, consider applying. A double membership with roof graduate schools (JuDocS, iGrad, Cologne Graduate School Chemistry, BCGS, ...) is possible.
