Potsdam Graduate School: Workshop „Projektmanagement“

Part 1 (in-person) on October 9 and 10, 2025: How to get into the (non-academic) German job market!

For (post-)doctoral researchers with an international background, it can be a real challenge to get into the non-academic German job market following an academic position. The entry routes into jobs are not always transparent, candidates are often not well-informed about what to expect in the application process and not everyone can offer German language skills. Where and how you can look for a job outside classic academia depends on your qualifications and skills set, on your individual life situation as well as on knowing about possible entry paths and strategies, the (unwritten) rules of the game and other parameters. This workshop offers assistance with this – tailored specifically for the needs of international scholars – and will encourage participants not just to prepare for this transition in a focused way but to create an action plan which they can start to implement.

Participants will gain the confidence to get started and concretize their next steps!

There is a second part of the program: Part 2 (online) on November 5 and December 5, 2025: Mission transition – boost your way to your non-academic career (for internationals)
