In a free-to-access Focus on Peer Review course, a panel of experienced researchers and Nature Research journal editors teach the foundations of good peer review.
The online courses are taught by Nature Portfolio journal editors, and academic and professional experts. Nature Masterclasses has been developed by Nature Research to provide professional development training for researchers. Nature Research is part of Springer Nature.
How do I succeed in scientific profiling? How do I lead a team safely and successfully? How do I develop project proposals that are worthy of funding? How do I build up a sustainable network? The scientific career comes with some questions and challenges!
The mentoring program for female postdocs at the universities of Halle, Jena and Leipzig will again offer eight places per university for advanced female postdocs, habilitation candidates, junior research group leaders or junior professors from June 2023 to support them in their next career steps.
The program is aimed at female scientists who aspire to a professorship and can demonstrate at least two years of independent scientific activity as a postdoc.

Die Junge Akademie stands for the promotion of outstanding young scientists and artists, interdisciplinary work, and work at the intersections between science and society. It offers its members access to a wide, continually growing network as well as an attractive location and financial means for implementing joint interdisciplinary projects.
The members of Die Junge Akademie are united by their pleasure in joint intellectual work and in interdisciplinary exchange, and in tackling unsolved problems by trying new things and applying new perspectives. They come from a wide range of fields and are selected for a duration of five years. They have a research budget that they use for joint scientific and artistic projects, as well as a personal budget that can be used for individual funding.
Membership of Die Junge Akademie is intended for outstanding scientists and artists that can show evidence of a completed doctorate or an artistic work. This work must have been completed at least three, but no more than seven years before the end of the application deadline (Selection 2023: 15 November 2022) and can be demonstrated by the doctorate certificate or a comparable document. Parental, care and sick leave are all taken into account during the selection process.
Further information on the selection process, the application platform and the full text of the call for applications can be found at zuwahl.diejungeakademie.de.
Ziel dieses Berufungstrainings ist es, die Teilnehmenden auf alle Phasen des Bewerbungsprozesses optimal vorzubereiten. Wir beschäftigen uns mit den nötigen Qualifikationen für eine Juniorprofessur oder Professur, den schriftlichen Bewerbungsunterlagen sowie mit inhaltlichen und strategischen Überlegungen für Berufungsvortrag, Lehrprobe und Kommissionsgespräch. Wir thematisieren dabei die wichtigsten Stationen und die kritischen Momente des Auswahlprozesses, typische Fragen im Kommissionsgespräch, mögliche Fallstricke während des Berufungsvortrags und der Lehrprobe, aber auch die ambivalenten Interessen innerhalb einer Berufungskommission. Darüber hinaus trainieren wir die erfolgreiche Selbstpräsentation sowie die Herausstellung der eigenen Qualifikationen in den verschiedenen Phasen des Berufungsverfahrens.
““Press releases” are one of the main vehicles used by a communication office to inform the world about scientific advances. Naturally the results themselves should make a press release, but a few simple guidelines can help to make the release a success. Although the main target group for press releases is the press, press releases do reach further. Press releases communicate important information to decision-makers, other mediators, scientists and even to the public. It is critically important always to tailor the style, level and content of a press release to suit the needs of the press and not the secondary target groups mentioned.” (from ESA)
Der online durchgeführte Workshop richtet sich disziplinübergreifend an Antragsberechtigte für Forschungsprojekte und befasst sich schwerpunktmäßig mit dem neuen EU-Rahmenprogramm für Forschung und Innovation HORIZONT EUROPA (2021-2027) aber auch mit dazu assoziierten Programmen wie z.B. ERAnets. Ziel des Workshops ist die Vermittlung von Grundlagen zur Förderung von Forschungs- und Innovationsprojekten durch die Europäische Union. Dem Teilnehmerkreis werden die Europäische Forschungsförderlandschaft und ihre Förderinstrumente vorgestellt. Die Teilnehmenden lernen Voraussetzungen zur Beteiligung und die Einstiegsmöglichkeiten kennen. Sie bekommen einen Überblick über die relevanten Akteure und Institutionen. Es werden die Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten für EU-Antragsstellungen und -projekte an der MLU vorgestellt.
Tenure-Track-Stellen sind im deutschen akademischen System ein vergleichsweise neuer Karriereweg. Inhaber*innen einer Tenure-Track-Position erhalten nach dem erfolgreichen Abschluss ihrer Tenure-Phase direkt eine Dauerstelle, z. B. in Form einer Lebenszeitprofessur. Die Tenure-Track-Professur ist die konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung der Juniorprofessur und daher sind die meisten Tenure-Track-Professuren in Deutschland mit einer Juniorprofessur verbunden; weniger üblich und bekannt sind Stellen im akademischen Mittelbau, z. B. als Senior Researcher oder Lecturer mit Tenure-Track. Der Workshop konzentriert sich auf Tenure-Track-Professuren in Deutschland.
The Event “A” – Calls for EU research funding in Horizon Europe – will kick things off. In addition to an insight into the work of the OVGU Research Funding Advisory Service and the EU University Network, funding opportunities in Horizon Europe will be presented. An overview of the program, the conditions of participation, funding forms and funding rules will be given.
The focus of the mediation is on planning and structure of a funding application as well as partner search, review and writing the abstract.
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.
