Career Workshop - online workshop-part 1
Note that the workshop has been divided into four half day sessions. The end of a PhD or a PostDoc comes along with some essential questions: What comes after my PhD or my current PostDoc? Which options do I have? What do I really want to do? What is important to me? Which competencies do I have? How do I put myself into a good light without being too modest? How do I find a position and apply to it? How can I support my own career? How do I get in touch with host institutions or potential employers? How do I best prepare for a job interview?

Career Workshop - online on 03./04./07./08. December 2020 (half day each participation in all four is required)

The objective of this career workshop is that researchers

be in academia, industry or as an entrepreneur;
• develop a good grasp of their skills and competencies;
