Your Situation:
As a postdoc, you are faced with the challenge of managing a wide variety of tasks and responsibilities. This results in the demanding need to set your own priorities and implement — and sometimes even assert — them in your academic day-to-day life.
At the same time, the question arises: How can I create the right conditions for maximum productivity in my planning and actions — without constantly pushing beyond the limits of my capabilities?
Instead of offering standardized solutions, this training series focuses on your specific life and work circumstances in order to create work structures that are both manageable and tailored to your needs — and thus beneficial for your career development. The exclusive group of fellow postdocs in similar professional situations ensures that you benefit from peer-to-peer advice and mutual support.
We pursue two key goals together:
You will identify where the most important starting points for developing your personal work and self-organization lie. With the help of needs-based input and structured peer exchange, you will develop concrete action steps to improve your current work situation.
You will systematically plan the implementation of your goals and integrate them directly into your daily work routine. Over the course of a quarter year, you will test new approaches, reflect on them with peer support, adjust them if necessary, and thereby ensure a tangible and lasting impact.
The Format:
The program combines 2 full workshop days for all participants (at the beginning and the end) and 2 peer coaching sessions in small groups of 4–6 participants (between the two workshops).
Participation is only possible for the entire program.
The application period for 2025 is closed.
