PostDoc PRO, Duchgang 10, Herbst 2024
The qualification programme for assistant professors, senior scientists & lecturer
The PostDoc PRO-program for Young Scientists, Senior Lecturers and Senior Scientists should enable the optimal development of one's own competence profile towards a professorship.
A specially adapted training offer, which conveys qualifications and key skills in the areas of teaching and supervision skills, employee leadership, communication skills and in the management of projects, should support you on your next career steps. The courses of the Postdoc PRO-program are generally offered in English. Depending on the target group, parts or the entire program may also be held in German.
In the late doctoral and early postdoctoral phases, competencies are increasingly added that concern teaching (teaching competence, supervision competence), project management (project management, conflict management, intercultural competence) and one's own profile in the scientific community (acquisition of third-party funding, networks). Since this phase often coincides with the "rush hour of life" between career and starting a family, the competence of a work-life balance is particularly needed here.
The mandatory part of PostDocPro comprises 6,5 to 7,5 days and extends over a period of twelve months maximum. The programme is divided into a mandatory phase and an elective module phase. The elective modules include the opportunity to learn more about teaching and/or funding consultation and coaching sessions on the subject of project acquisitions, and to acquire a certificate.
