Developing a unique research profile plays an important role in establishing a successful research career. This workshop will offer participants assistance with the further planning of their scientific careers and the development of their research profiles, taking into account the participants’ individual trajectories.
Workshop Rationale:
At pivotal points in their career, researchers often feel a need to deliberate their position and competencies, and to balance various career options. This applies especially to the transition period between qualification phases, e.g. at the end of the postdoc phase and on the edge of becoming an established researcher. Information on research funding and career development schemes as well as awareness on own strengths and interests are key for taking informed decisions on the way forward. In addition, employers and funders increasingly ask for applicants’ clear-cut research profiles and descriptions of their trajectories in order to check the fit with their institutions or programmes.
Individual short coaching sessions help the participants pave their way towards successful applications in view of their needs and ambitions (scheduled as needed).
The workshop is aimed at postdocs and is offered by the University of Hohenheim. 2 places are available for postdocs from Konstanz.
