This kick-off is an opportunity for new postdoctoral researchers to get to know your peer group, meet key contacts, and discover useful tools, offers, and important processes at the University of Kassel in a compact event.

Why should you participate?

Build your network and get to know your peers. This can lead to new collaborations, research projects, and career opportunities, but above all, this exchange helps you to ask for quick tips and tricks in daily work routine life – especially if you come from a small field with few colleagues at your career level. 

Keep your career goals in mind

How can you specifically expand your career opportunities in the medium and long term? What steps will support you on the way to your career goal? Even though plans can change over time, there are helpful milestones that provide orientation. Our experts from the specialist departments will share examples with you and provide counseling for your individual career development.

Become an insider

Discover the most important points of contact that will support you on your path after your doctorate—professionally, strategically, and personally: from Welcome Center, Human Resources Department, Equal Opportunities Office to the Graduate Academy. Learn how these institutions can support you in advancing your research and developing your career in a targeted manner. Lay the foundation now – so you will be well prepared when it comes to third-party funding applications, recruiting, or your next career step.
