Reconciling family obligations and an academic career

How can you reconcile family obligations with academic pursuits and what do researchers need to consider if they are planning to pursue an academic career as parents? Do you have questions on the following (or other) topics?

• organizing your studies and/or work
• childcare
• fixed-term contracts
• statutory maternity leave
• parental leave and parental pay

Svenja Saure, an equal opportunity advisor with Universität Hamburg’s Family Office, will be happy to advise you and welcomes all doctoral and early career researchers from our member institutions. See Universität Hamburg’s Family Office pages for more information.
