How to Find Your Job after Your Postdoc ONLINE

Ziele

Pursuing an academic career involves some risks and uncertainties. In the course of the postdoc phase, the decision is made whether to continue the career until professorship or another permanent position or to leave the academic system. There are many fears about this step, as often no alternative career paths to the science system have been found or tried before.
The workshop will deal with the question of which career paths are possible.

Kursinhalte

The following topics are discussed:
- What are the work and career opportunities? An overview of the academic and non-academic job market.
