Perspectives outside academia: Developing individual career paths (focus on German job market)
20.30 SR 3.060
Englerstraße 2
76131 Karlsruhe
Two-day interactive on-site workshop (March 5+6, 2026)
Only few PhD graduates stay at the university in the medium term and the most optimistic estimates give only 10 % of PhDs a realistic chance of attaining a professorship. Therefore, it is very wise for scientists to start exploring alternative career paths early on. Several obstacles stand in the way: the intense focus on the dissertation and the resulting lack of time, doubts and fears about career prospects both inside and outside academia, and the shortage of concrete strategies and role models.
