This workshop targets postdoctoral researchers with an international background, guiding them through the complexities of entering the non-academic German job market. It offers insights into job search strategies, application processes, and leveraging one’s international experience as a strength. Participants will develop a professional profile, gain an understanding of the job market, and learn to navigate application requirements effectively. The program includes practical application training, personalized feedback, and empowerment through success stories, equipping researchers with the tools to create a strategic action plan for their career transition.

For postdoctoral researchers with an international background, it can be a real challenge to get into the (non-academic) German job market at the end of an academic position. The entry routes into jobs are not always transparent, candidates are often not well-informed about what to expect in the application process and not everyone can offer German language skills. Where and how you can look for a job outside classic academia depends on your qualifications and skills set, on your individual life situation as well as on knowing about possible entry paths, the (unwritten) rules of the game and other additional parameters.
