PhD & Habilitation

The support of young scientists during their qualification phase is an integral part of our research strategy. Our activities in the area of doctoral and postdoctoral qualification provide a structured training framework for aspiring researchers. The annual PhD & PostDoc Day serves as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange and supports young researchers on their career path.

At the same time, we actively support our young scientists in advancing their academic careers, including qualification for a professorship. A key component is the promotion of our academic talents through workshops and research colloquia. In addition, the Potsdam Graduate School offers a wide range of qualification and funding programs.

Since pedagogical competence is just as essential as research experience for a professorship, we support our staff with the Starter Kit Lehre, which facilitates entry into university teaching. Furthermore, the network "Studienqualität Brandenburg (sqb)" and the Center for Quality Development in Teaching and Learning (ZfQ) offer higher education didactics programs and certification opportunities to help our instructors enhance their teaching skills.

Through these initiatives, we create optimal conditions for excellent research, innovative teaching, and targeted preparation for a professorship.
