Postdoc
From challenges to opportunities
The period of qualification leading up to a professorship or another permanent position in science can bring many challenges.
Successfully navigating through this phase involves establishing yourself as an independent researcher, increasing your visibility and opportunities, and minimizing risks. This requires strategic planning, networking, and continuously building upon your research profile.
Key components of your career during the postdoc phase include publishing your research in reputable journals, securing external funding to support your projects, gaining valuable international research experience, and establishing collaborations with other researchers.
During this time, you should also be contemplating your long-term career goals, whether to pursue a position in academia or explore opportunities outside of academia. It's important to carefully consider your options as early as you can and align them with your interests, skills, and framework conditions.
