Info-Session: Career Paths in Academia – (Funding) Opportunities for Postdocs

Postdoc Workshop | | Career Paths

This Info-Session educates advanced PhD Students and early-career Postdocs about academic career and funding options.

Date: May 21 2024

Format: TUM Info-Session / Online mini-workshop via Zoom, 13.00 –15.30

Target group: early-career postdocs

Description: It is well known that pursuing a career in academia can be tedious and many young researchers continue their career beyond a PhD without being aware of the career system. They are expected to raise third-party funds, but are not given any advice and training on how to apply for these funds.

In this workshop, you will get an overview of the largest funding organizations in Germany and the third party funding system, as well as general insights in the career paths at a university. The workshops aims at early career researchers and doctoral students who want to gain insight into the system and prepare for their first application in Germany.

Trainer: Carla Herrmann works at the TUM Office for Research and Innovation (TUM ForTe). She is part of the TUM Talent Factory Team which offers a wide range of career services to TUM postdocs and to external postdocs interested in joining the TUM.

Cooperation Partner: TUM Graduate School
