Postdoc Workshops

Develop an individual profile and plan your career

Our workshop program for postdoctoral researchers supports you in sharpening and extending your individual academic profile and successfully continuing your career within and outside academia.

The workshops deal with topics in the following fields:

  • Career in academia and beyond
  • Leadership, supervision and management competencies
  • Communicating, networking, negotiating
  • Acquiring third-party funds.

The offers are designed differently and include both short workshops and also more intensive 2-day formats. They will be held in English or German and take place alternately at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, TU Dortmund University, and the University of Duisburg-Essen or online.

Who can participate?

Postdoctoral researchers of all research fields of the three UA Ruhr universities: Ruhr-Universität Bochum, TU Dortmund University, University of Duisburg-Essen.

If you are already leading your own research group, hold a Junior Professorship, already hold a habilitation or are shortly before finishing your habilitation, we would like to recommend you to participate in our Program for the Junior Faculty which is specifically designed for you.
