Objective
As a postdoctoral researcher in the qualification phase, you often need to reflect on your current position and skills and weigh up different career and funding options. This is especially true during the transition between the various stages of qualification or at the end of the qualification phase when you become eligible for appointment. Discussions with superiors and the private environment are important at this point, but usually have the disadvantage that the direct interests of the conversation partners also come into play.
This coaching offer therefore chooses a fundamentally different approach by focusing on your previous experiences and plans. The aim is to jointly develop strategies for the further development of your scientific career in the light of your individual goals.
Key elements
- CV feedback
- Elaboration of short- and medium-term career goals, as well as a long-term career prospection
- If appropriate, deduction of a suitable funding profile
- If required, analysis of a document of up to two pages (e.g. a cover letter or application summary)
