The third part addresses all aspects of the hearing. Participants will learn about the requirements for the application talk and the demonstration lecture. In addition, the most frequently asked questions in the interview with the selection committee will be discussed.
Webcast 2: Professor wanted! Planning and optimizing your academic career
Target Group: Postdocs + advanced PhDs
Duration: 2.5 Hours
Format: Webcast + additional handouts
Content
The postdoc phase is crucial for the furthering of one's academic career and is split between dependent employment and academic independence. Scientists are confronted with numerous professional challenges: Developing a research profile, publishing independently, developing a teaching portfolio, planning to stay abroad, participating in scientific communication and building one's own network of colleagues and cooperation partners... When are which tasks particularly important? What has the highest priority? How important is the habilitation? What time frame is appropriate? The webcast informs you about all the important requirements (also beyond publications and third-party funding) and milestones for an academic career and gives you concrete tips and advice both on the weighting of these requirements and on strategic considerations during the postdoc phase on the way to a professorship.
