FAU Postdoc Day

Invitation to the first FAU Postdoc Day

Date and registration

The FAU Postdoc Day is to be held online on 5 and 9 July 2021.

You should register via StudOn.

FAU is organising its first FAU Postdoc Day. All postdoctoral researchers at FAU are invited to join.

With the motto ‘How to become a professor’, the event will address the factors that are decisive for an academic career at a university, provide insights into the interview that usually takes place behind closed doors and discuss the current options for qualifying as a professor.

  • How can I develop my career portfolio so that my application for a professorship is successful?
  • What can I expect in the meeting with the appointment committee? How can I present myself successfully and introduce myself effectively?
  • Which path to becoming a professor is suitable for me?

The practice appointment committee and a few other brief parts of the programme will take place in English, but otherwise the event will take place in German.

Objectives

The purpose of the event is to provide you with some ideas for planning your academic career, to show you what support FAU provides for postdoctoral researchers and to offer a forum for exchanging ideas and information.

Gain some input and ideas for your path to becoming a professor during presentations and discussions, get in touch with experts from FAU and talk to professors who have already been appointed.

Target group

The FAU Postdoc Day is aimed at postdoctoral researchers who have already gained their doctoral degrees up to and including habilitation/W1 professorship level.
