Beschreibung
In this workshop, early career researchers will learn in detail about the German academic system
and its career paths. The German system is coined, on the one hand, by an unparalleled level of
freedom at professorial level, safeguarded by the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany.
On the other hand, we have very few permanent positions for postdocs and a special act on fixedterm
employment only for academia. What makes things even more complicated (but also offers
new opportunities!), are the current efforts by some universities to introduce new permanent
career paths to the system.
The first part of the workshop will focus on the academic system, its structure, the politics behind
it and how they impact every single postdoc position. Participants will then learn in detail about
the different academic career paths in German academia. We will hear about the different
options and access routes e.g. to a Junior Research Group or a W1 professorship, discuss the
importance of careful planning and networks and also look at alternatives within and outside of
academia.
Participants are welcome to send their CVs and a short paragraph on their career plans in advance
by email. Confidentiality is guaranteed and all data will be destroyed after the workshop.
Target group: doctoral candidates and postdocs
