Promoting the career development of young female scientists and scholars and preparing them to play a leading international role in research and academia – these are the objectives of the qualification programme for postdocs at the Göttingen Campus. The one-year intensive programme provides a small group of up to 12 female scientists and scholars with training and coaching in key academic skills as well as practical career-relevant knowledge relating to international science management, research funding and networking.
The programme enhances career development in a flexible and individual manner: It combines a wide range of methods (individual and group coaching, workshops and training) as well as information and intercommunication options with instructors from in and outside Göttingen University.
The programme is open for Dorothea Schlözer postdocs, all female scientists and scholars working on their Habilitation, as well as female postdocs, junior research group leaders and junior professors at Göttingen University and the Göttingen Campus.
The programme will start on 7 & 8 of March 2016 with an obligatory kick off workshop.

We are happy to invite you to a Career Impulse Session with Dr. Anna Cypionka (GGNB alumna) from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).
Date: Monday, 30 November 2015, 17:00 – 19:00 o’clock
Place: GZMB building, Justus-von-Liebig-Weg 11, seminar room 0.232
Duration: 1.5 hours + 0.5 hour for open networking
PTB, the German National Metrology Institute, is one of 46 federal research institutes in Germany.
The mission of the federal research institutes goes far beyond basic research: they bridge the gap between science and society and provide advice and support based on scientific evidence to the German government. Consequently, job profiles for scientists at these agencies are more variable than at other research institutes.
Dr. Anna Cypionka will talk about her experience as a project manager for international projects at the Technical Cooperation Department of PTB and as an advisor to PTB’s President.
During her PhD, she was member of the GGNB doctoral program / International Max Planck Research School “Physics of Biological and Complex Systems” and worked under the supervision of Professor Reinhard Jahn and Professor Jomo Walla on SNARE-mediated membrane fusion.
For organizational reasons, please write me an email (ggnb-career@gwdg.de), if you consider taking part. Thanks! However, taking part spontaneously is also possible. Continue Reading →
