26.Jun
9:00
Campus South (room tbd)
Verena Landgrebe, Patrizia Köhler, KIT, Human Resources Development and Vocational Training (PEBA)
As part of a personal roadmap, you have the opportunity to consciously reflect on your current professional and private situation. You will look at your personal goals and wishes and derive concrete steps for your further career and skills development.
 
What have I already achieved? What skills particularly characterize me? What are my strengths? What is important to me?
How do I visualize a successful future?
 
The first aim of the event is to take a closer look at the current status quo and generate an understanding of your present situation. Taking stock in this way will help you to take a focused approach to your life and career planning, create a basis for reflection for your longer-term professional and private decisions and work on your individual areas of development in a targeted manner. In this way, you can develop goals for your further career planning from a holistic perspective and derive the first specific steps.
 
Please note that a career workshop cannot provide individual career counselling.

Campus South (room tbd)
Dr. Daniel Friedrich, impulsplus
This two-day on-site workshop takes place on November 21 & 22, 2024.
 
Content
“Do I have a plan for how to achieve my PhD? How do I define priorities and draw up a schedule? What is required for the process of writing?” A PhD project lasting a number of years will raise many questions requiring individual and tailor-made solutions.
 
This workshop will help you develop your individual strategy ensuring that your planning will both be effective and efficient in achieving your goal. You will not only learn more about self-management methods, but will also identify and explore external resources such as dealing with the expectations of others and receiving active support from your supervisors.

9:00
Campus South (room tbd)
Dr. Carsten Rohr, Soft Skills in Hard Science
This two-day on-site workshop takes place on Januar 13 & 14, 2025.
 
Content
Publications of research results is the currency in modern science. It might not be your favourite occupation, but it is a decisive one, strongly determining your future research and career opportunities. In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper. In order to deepen and apply this knowledge, you will also actually produce a manuscript based on your research data (and one that might serve as the foundation for a journal submission). Questions about other forms of text like conference papers can also be discussed.
 
A-Z of scientific writing
Developing a clear main message Priority setting in the writing process Structure and logical flow of the text Create meaningful graphics Memorable introduction and abstract How to develop a daily writing routine Efficient communication with co-authors Plus: Writing with AI tools
Please note: Given that this is a hands-on online-workshop, you need some (analysed) data that can serve as the foundation for a journal article. Please also bring some scientific texts written by you (e.g. Bachelor or Master thesis, as well as any published or upcoming papers) to the workshop.

About KCDS

Concept of the graduate school KCDS
KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science (KCDS) is a graduate school at KIT Center MathSEE that offers an interdisciplinary training program for doctoral researchers in the field of model-driven and data-driven computational science.
In this unique program, doctoral researchers will be able to conduct an interdisciplinary research project that revolves around computational methods such as mathematical models, simulation methods and data science techniques, all the while building bridges between mathematical sciences and an applied SEE discipline (science, economics and engineering).
Addressing global challenges, the school provides a wide variety of topics, from meteorological ensemble forecasting to machine learning in elementary particle physics.
At KCDS, doctoral researchers have one supervisor from the mathematical sciences and one from the applied discipline. They are part of a dynamic community and participate in the school’s interdisciplinary training program, including hands-on training in small groups, summer schools, networking events and hackathons/datathons.
Thinking simulations and data together, we are ready to conquer the data-driven challenges of tomorrow!
