Coaching How to negotiate your contract for an academic position (24H03201) ONLINE

Description

Have you received an offer for a permanent academic position or for a professorship, but you are a bit uncertain of how to proceed? A good negotiation strategy following an offer is a prerequisite for a successful start in a new scientific position and can significantly influence your long-term career chances. All too often we’re confronted with the notion that after the interview there is not much left to negotiate. With our coaching, you will recognise just how many aspects there are to consider and how you can enter into a constructive dialogue with the negotiating university. Our consultancy helps you to gain confidence with regard to all important aspects that you should bring up in negotiations and to lead these in a systematic way.
