dynaMENT advanced Workshop "Negotiate confidently and find your position as a scientist"

Friday 22 Apr 2022, 13:00 → 15:00 Europe/Berlin

Postdocs are often faced with the specific challenge of positioning themselves in a historically grown academic field. Power constellations play just as much a role here as the question of how to move sovereignly “on the academic stage“. This coaching program is explicitly not only a preparation for job applications or negotiations, but rather a strategic and professional orientation with a view to higher- level goals. Negotiation preparations that fall within the duration of the program can be brought in as case studies. Against this background, the coaching program is aimed at female scientists who want to consciously deal with their on (supra-) professional and political positioning. We also address those who would like to learn and practice negotiation techniques - always keeping an eye on individual needs and deadlines.
