The University of Göttingen is offering a mentoring program for female doctoral and postdoctoral researchers at Göttingen Campus, designed to accompany young female researchers through this phase of their development. It represents a contribution to increasing the number of women in leading positions at universities and non-university institutions.
Dorothea Schlözer Mentoring Program
What are my career prospects following my doctoral degree? What criteria are paramount in deciding to pursue an academic or non-academic career? How should I behave in competitive situations? And how can I combine my family life with a career in academia or elsewhere?
Questions like these demonstrate that a successful career is more than just delivering optimal results at work. A hierarchic independent mentoring relationship with a professor and the exchange of ideas with other doctoral and postdoctoral researchers can provide important orientation and support at this stage in life.
Application: until August 30, 2015
Start of new round: November 5, 2015
Duration: 1 year
Application and further information: http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/361579.html
Contact person for the program: Dr. Vera Bissinger (Zentrale Koordination Mentoring, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Abteilung Forschung)

We are happy to invite to a career impulse session with Dr. Astrid Sitte (GGNB alumna) and her colleague Dr. Fabian Zehender from NanoTemper Technologies.
Date: Tuesday, 7 July 2015, 19:00 – 21:00 o’clock
Place: GZMB building, Justus-von-Liebig-Weg 11, seminar room 0.232
Duration: 2 hours
Stopping working in the lab and changing to a position in customer-oriented fields in Industry – is this really a career option for a scientist after receiving the PhD degree? Isn’t it boring and is a PhD needed therefore at all?
Dr. Astrid Sitte and Dr. Fabian Zehender, working in the customer support and sales team at NanoTemper Technologies, will share their experiences about this topic. They will provide insights into the workflow and challenges they are encountering on a daily basis. They will also explain responsibilities and essential skills when working for a company in a customer related position.
NanoTemper Technologies is based in Munich and develops, produces and markets innovative, high quality instruments for biomedical research. It was founded by Dr. Stefan Duhr and Dr. Philipp Baaske as a spin off from the Center for Nanoscience (CeNS) at the University of Munich in 2008 and is now a globally operating company with more than 70 employees.
The session will start with a short presentation aiming at initiating a vivid discussion in an informal atmosphere.
As we would like to provide finger food and drinks, please write an email to Katrin Wodzicki (ggnb-career@gwdg.de) until 30 June 2015, if you consider taking part!!
