Coaching for young female researchers at postdoctoral qualification level and above

A successful academic career on the path towards professorship not only requires excellent subject-related skills but also involves developing strategies and personal skills.

In terms of their career planning, young female researchers often find themselves in extremely different situations and individual coaching tailored to their needs and provided by a professional coach is an important component in many ways to help them get on the right track in their careers.

We are therefore pleased to announce that we can offer you individual coaching sessions using funds from the Innovationsbündnis 4.0 (Innovation Alliance).

Target group

The offer is open to female postdoctoral researchers and habilitation candidates who would like to pursue an academic career.

Topics covered in coaching sessions

Individual advice on career planning.

Scope

The maximum amount of funding available for each application is € 1,000. Funding is provided for a maximum of 4 individual sessions of 90 minutes each.

Coaches

Applicants are usually responsible for finding suitable coaches with experience of working in the higher education sector themselves. If required, applicants can also approach the Office of Equality and Diversity, the Centre for Continuing Education in University-Level Teaching (FBZHL) and the Graduate Centre for assistance in finding a suitable coach.
