Working and conducting research in academia offer a lot of opportunities for networking and career planning. Today, the concept of a “job for life” is not valid in many professions and companies. However, as a highly skilled and qualified researcher there are a lot of career opportunities in economy and industry. Scientists should be able to transform their capabilities into job-oriented skills and career possibilities to connect themselves with potential employers. Career planning is as vital as planning experiments. Researchers need to be familiar with their skills, should know how to establish their own brand with self- marketing and develop a strategic view on the career landscape to be successful. The most important action researchers can do themselves is to take the lead in their career planning. Continue reading “Career Paths into Industry – 18/19 July 2016”

Academic Writing – May 30, 2016
For many young scientists writing is the most difficult part of research work. Poor structure, breakneck formulations and unclear argumentation lead to texts which are not too user friendly. However, for the success of academics it is essential that the content is successfully conveyed to the relevant target groups – from the subject community to the wider public.
The methods and instruments of scientific writing can be learnt. With a few select mechanisms for structuring and techniques for building arguments, it becomes possible to articulate even complex data clearly and comprehensibly. Coherently built up and convincingly formulated, even academic texts can be an exciting read!

Introduction to Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polymers – April 27-28, 2016
Aims
This ATM focused on two methods of computer simulation, the Monte Carlo method and Molecular Dynamics simulations. The aim of this module was to give an insight into theoretical foundations and the practical work of these two methods.
Contents
Each day of the two-days program started with lectures in the morning, followed by computer simulations at the computer pool during the afternoon. Continue reading “Introduction to Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Polymers – April 27-28, 2016”
