The opportunity to do a certificate program at the Graduate Academy motivated me to attend advanced training courses in the field of leadership. The workshops offered have been very enriching, the exchange with my coach has helped me personally and through the program I have met many exciting people from different academic disciplines. I can only recommend a participation.

Researcher Development Program (RDP) is the qualification program for postdocs, assistant professors and junior research group leaders in the areas of teaching, leadership and management, and career development.
In addition to research, teaching is the most important qualification element on the way to a professorship. Offers in this area are ensured in cooperation with the Center of University Didactics, which offers a comprehensive program for planning and conducting courses, advising and examining students. If required, customized courses are offered.
Staff management, the coordination of teams and the supervision of complex projects are only some of the tasks that postdoctoral researchers have to fulfill. This is often accompanied by the challenges of reconciling work and family life and work-life balance.
For postdocs in an early phase after the doctorate, the reflected decision for or against the academic career path is crucial. For postdocs in an advanced phase who want to further develop their academic profile, the program offers qualification measures in the areas of third-party funding applications, appointment training and networking.
The qualification program is located on our learning platform ILIAS. There you will find an overview of our offers and all information about our program and our trainers.
