Scientific careers and parenthood+++THE EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND POSTPONED+++

11 October 2016, by Familienbüro

+++THE EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND POSTPONED+++Information and discussion evening organized by the Clusters of Excellence CliSAP and CUI, the Collaborative Research Center Particles, Strings and the Early Universe (SFB 676), and the Faculty for Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Science in cooperation with the Family Office of Universität Hamburg.

The balance between a scientific career and family is often viewed as challenging and difficult. Especially limited work contracts, the necessity of regional mobility as well as the high publication pressure are some of the reasons which are depicted as obstacles to take on family obligations.

With the event "Scientific Career and Parenthood" the research clusters, the SFB 676, the MIN-Faculty, and the Family Office at Universität Hamburg wish to pick up on this topic and provide an overview in English of the legal ramifications of limited work contracts (under the WissZeitVG) and their effects on e.g. claiming parental leave.

In the following panel discussion we would like to introduce you to four researchers and invite you to share with them their strategies on how they manage their career and family life, what support they receive and which obstacles they face. Subsequently you will have the chance for questions and further exchange.

Childcare: We offer free childcare between 5-7:30 pm in cooperation with the Studierendenwerk Hamburg (Hamburg Student Union). If you wish to use this service, please contact Nicolli Povijac at nicolli.povijac"AT"uni-hamburg.de no later than 24 November 2016.
