APPOINTMENT TRAINING (1/2): Self Study
This seminar takes place in a blended learning format. You will be given access to a self-study video (length: 3 h 10 min) in which all essential content on the topic of »Applying for (junior) professorships« is presented in detail. You will then take part in a group session via Zoom, in which you will work on open questions and practice important aspects of the application process (e.g. introduction to the scientific presentation, committee interview).
Please note: Watching the video and preparing a 3-minute presentation is a mandatory prerequisite for meaningful participation in the group session.
Part I: Self-study video (3h10min, available for 3 weeks before the group session)
The aim of the video is to inform you in detail about all phases of the appointment procedure for W1 to W3 professorships in Germany and to provide you with specific assistance and tips for your application. The video first deals with the procedure and formal aspects of the appointment process. Then all the necessary application documents (especially CV, cover letter, concepts) are discussed in detail and illustrated in part with sample materials. In the third part, the expectations and requirements in the hearing with the appointment committee as well as important preparation steps are discussed. You will receive tips and short demonstrations on how to structure your scientific presentation and teaching demonstration. In addition, the most frequently asked questions and topics in the committee interview are presented.
Accompanying tasks: Preparation of a 3-minute presentation to introduce your own profile (introductory part of the scientific presentation, instructions in the webcast); approx. 1-2h.
The seminar includes subsequent process support. Participants have the opportunity to send their application documents to the trainer when they enter the application phase and receive written feedback on how to optimize them.
