Academic careers are risky business: as a doctoral candidate or a postdoc, you have wide-ranging decisions to make about how to develop your research and your career. This workshop revisits and extends your understanding of the conditions shaping academic careers in Germany and it helps you prepare your next steps.

Aspects covered include:

• Permanent positions in academia: what they are and how to work towards them
• The postdoc phase in Germany: relevant positions, and their pros and cons
• Necessary achievements (publications, third-party funding and others): how to assess your situation
• How to develop your scientific profile and academic independence
• Particular challenges for international researchers and scientists

In addition, there is room for your individual questions.
