Strategic (academic) career planning

In the two-day workshop “Strategic (academic) career planning” (April 20-21), participants learned how to plan for a career in science.

The participants learned how to plan for a career in science by first learning about the typical career paths in academia (e.g., junior professorship or junior research group leader). Then, they were taught how to match their current priorities with the respective requirements (e.g., to sharpen their research profile as a young PostDoc). Finally, the group discussed potential positions beyond academia that match the skills and goals of many PhD students (e.g., project manager or research manager).
