Scientific careers outside the university - postdocs learned where this is possible and how to get started again at the first online career forum.
At the beginning of October, young researchers from the three UA Ruhr universities were able to find out online for the first time about various academic career paths outside the university.
At the start, the new Vice Rector for Research at TU Dortmund University, Prof. Nele McElvany, welcomed the almost 90 participants via Zoom. Dr. Kolja Briedis from the German Center for Research on Higher Education and Science set the mood for the day with a report from his research on the career paths of doctoral graduates.
Afterwards, an individual day program began for everyone, consisting of a total of 6 thematic rounds and 24 individual consultations with various career paths outside of academia - from UAS professorships to careers in companies. Successful researchers also reported on career opportunities in non-university research institutions.
The next Career Forum will take place in spring 2021 and will focus on the topic of "Third-party funding for postdoc careers".
