The postdoctoral and assistant professor period as well as the time as an assistant professor often coincide with the so called “rush hour” of life. The independence as a researcher grows, and at the same time, this period is often a time of profiling and orientation in which important career decisions have to be made. On top of this, this period of life is often accompanied by important decisions relating to one' s private and family life. The program of the Vice-President's Board (Research & Faculty) would like to support you regarding questions about research and career-path development and offers a variety of course, workshops and information events.
