Implement - Doctoral Researchers

Want to focus on your academic career and need help applying for postdoc positions? Or are you wondering how you can access the hidden labor market for positions in industry? Have you been invited to a job interview inside or outside of academia and want to prepare optimally for this? We support you in the implementation of your career plan with various offers.

We recommend that you subscribe to our mailing list for doctoral researchers to remain up-to-date with our offers. We will send you information on our latest program, additional offers, and free workshop places.

Reflecting on how to shape the future course of your career rarely ends after you have taken a step towards changing your career. A regular review of your professional situation, needs, and ideas is well worthwhile. Take advantage of our offers in the “Reflect” section for this.
