Online Career Tuesday on October 13, 2026
Career Planning in German Academia
Join us for an inspiring and practical session on academic career development in Germany. Mirjam Müller, Head of Postdoc Affairs and Academic Career Coach at the University of Konstanz, has extensive experience supporting postdoctoral researchers on their path to professorships. As an internationally recognized career coach and author of several guides on academic careers and professorial appointment procedures, she brings valuable insights into the realities of academic career planning.
Academic careers are rarely linear. They are shaped by funding opportunities, institutional structures, disciplinary developments, and timing. In this interactive session, Mirjam Müller will introduce seven practical steps to help international postdoctoral researchers reflect on their achievements, strategically plan their next career moves, and navigate the German academic system with greater clarity and confidence.
Whether you are aiming for a professorship or exploring your long term career options in academia, this session will provide practical strategies, valuable insights, and the opportunity to exchange ideas with an experienced expert and fellow researchers. The event will be held in English.
