Introduction to the course topics:

It is well known that pursuing a career in academia can be tedious and many young researchers continue their career beyond a PhD without being aware of the career system. They are expected to raise third-party funds, but are not given advice and training on how to apply for these funds. In this workshop, you will get an overview of the largest funding organizations in Germany and the third-party funding system, as well as general insights in the career paths at a university. The workshops aims at early-career postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students who want to gain insight into the system and prepare for their first application in Germany.
