Reflect - Junior Professors and Junior Research Group Leaders

You are already successful in your early career and bear responsibility for your department and employees. In addition to your academic duties, refining your profile and positioning yourself in your area of specialty are key. It is well worth reflecting on your strengths, areas requiring further development, and needs.

Our workshops and advising allow you to explore what is important to you professionally and how you can set priorities from among your diverse tasks and requirements in your daily research and define goals. These can involve anything from shaping your current career phase through pursuing a full professorship to leaving academia and planning an alternative career. We address your specific individual request with you.
