Career Program for Experienced Postdocs, Research Group Leaders and W1-Professors
Researchers qualify for a lifetime professorship through their research achievements, but rarely have the opportunity to receive qualified support for this career path. The program wishes to close this gap and offers workshops on essential themes such as successful appointment negotiations, micropolitics in the university or advanced communication skills. The program is designed as peer mentoring and enables the selected participants to network intensively with others, who are on the same career path, across disciplines and universities. It will provide participants with a strong network of other researchers on their way to lifetime professorship.
Conditions of Participation and Application Details
Outstanding postdocs (at least two years after completing their doctorate), research group leaders and W1 professors from all HRA member institutions can take part in the career program. The workshops are exclusive for the program, run by highly experienced trainers. The number of participants is therefore limited to 14 people and we expect that participants attend all workshops and, in addition, meet and exchange with their program peers.
There are no more places available in the current round. We hope to be able to offer the program again in autumn 2023. If you are interested, you can conctact us (linda.jauch"AT"hra-hamburg.de) and we we will keep you informed.
