The competition is aimed at young scientists from all disciplines who have submitted an excellent dissertation of particular social significance in 2022. With three top prizes of 25,000 euros each, it is one of the most highly endowed German prizes for young researchers. The closing date for the current call for entries is March 1, 2023.
The Körber Foundation wants to encourage young scientists to confidently represent the social value of their research and contribute to the public debate. With the “Deutscher Studienpreis“, the foundation therefore honors doctoral students who have presented tangible results that are of outstanding interest to society. The patron of the award is Bärbel Bas, President of the German Bundestag.
All information on how to participate can be found here (in German).
Professors from Saxony-Anhalt will tell the audience about their individual paths and would like to discuss their experiences with you: Take the chance, ask your questions, and do the reality check for yourself.
Talks and Panel Discussion with
Prof. Dr. Manja Krüger, High Temperature Materials, OVGU
Prof. Dr. Philipp Pohlenz, Higher Education Research and Professionalisation of University Teaching, OVGU
Prof. Dr. Jörg Sauerhering, Thermal process and energy engineering, Hochschule Anhalt
Prof. Dr. Manuela Schwartz, Rector of Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences
The event is organised by the Graduate Academy at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg. It will take place online on ZOOM and will be simultaneously translated into German and English.
You will get a quick overview about the Walter Benjamin, the Emmy Noether and the Heisenberg Programme, as well as the Individual Research Grant with a temporary position for principal investigators. The lecturer will also provide advice on how to prepare your proposal and what happens once you submit it to the DFG. PhD candidates and postdocs of all disciplines from all countries as well as research support staff are welcome to join.
You have put a lot of time and effort into pursuing your PhD degree. Now it’s time to focus on how to leverage your expertise into a satisfying and productive career. The Individual Development Plan (IDP) concept is commonly used in industry to help employees define and pursue their career goals. In 2003, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) proposed an IDP framework for postdoctoral fellows in the sciences. AAAS/Science joined forces with FASEB and experts from several universities (see authors below) to expand on that framework. The result is myIDP – a unique, web-based career-planning tool tailored to meet the needs of PhD students and postdocs in the sciences.

The newly released website Wissen Schafft Karriere (in German) provides a general overview of career paths in science as well as specific opportunities for a career at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU).
So what does a career in science at MLU look like? A doctorate is often the beginning of an academic career towards a professorship. And yet, the doctorate opens up many other career opportunities, both at MLU and at many other institutions.
The compatibility of family and career or one’s own health have a significant impact on professional development and career. The website also illustrates this and show support options in working life through MLU.
Last but not least, you will find statutes, regulations and templates for various decisions and guidelines relating to career options and organisation at MLU.
Female professors and equal opportunities officers of the universities of applied sciences in Schleswig-Holstein cordially invite female professional practitioners, postdocs, doctoral candidates and other interested parties to an open exchange about the job description, hiring requirements and paths to a professorship.
Participants are supported in identifying and developing their potential and making the best use of opportunities, thus successfully realizing the path to a scientific leading position. Questions about the development and genesis of a professional identity as a scientist or university professor are just as important as aspects of coping with specific qualification requirements and further life and career planning, whereby the compatibility of family and academic career also plays an important role.
