Course description:

The majority of people with a PhD does not stay in academia, but pursues careers in a variety of fields. There are many different career paths open to young scientists. However, it is often difficult for them to decide which path to take, or there is a lack of clarity about the requirements for a particular path.


For international doctoral researchers, navigating the German job market adds unique challenges, such as understanding local hiring practices and addressing language barriers. This course covers these aspects and offers practical advice on how to overcome these obstacles.


In this seminar, participants examine their goals, values, and interests, analyze their skills, and discover interesting career options within and outside of academia. At the end of the course, participants create their own career development plan, with special attention to strategies for success in the German job market.
