This workshop on helps you move from “graduate student” to confident academic professional. You learn how to best convey the content and value of your research and teaching in a host of formats particular to the academic job application process. These include the dissertation abstract, the CV/resume and cover letter, grant and postdoctoral applications, teaching and research statements, interviews, and job talks. Our practice will focus on the CV/resume, cover letter and interview; participants will also draft a five-year plan for publications, teaching, and research. The myriad exercises are designed to challenge participants to move beyond their heretofore identities as graduate students and to present themselves as full-fledged independent scholars.

Für die Teilnahme an diesem Kurs erhalten Sie 2 CPs im Bereich C um bereits begonnene Zertifikate im Rahmen des ehemaligen Allgemeinen Promotionskollegs (APKs) abzuschließen.

Participants should prepare beforehand a CV and cover letter in accordance with a job announcement for an academic or postdoctoral position for which they would like to apply (either now or in the future). These need to be submitted a week in advance of the workshop so that they can be exchanged with other participants for analysis
