Polymers: random coils and beyond
Our alumnus Mark did his PhD in physical chemistry in the group of Prof. Jörg Kreßler and worked until recently in a toxicology lab as an analytical chemist. He will offer an insight into his job, but he will also share his experiences with the application and interview process and might have some hints to other non-native German-speakers looking for a job in Germany’s industry.

Scientists have a lot of job options — but they are often not aware of them. This workshop helped participants to see more of the many opportunities there are on the German labour market. Participants learnt to take the different steps involved in a successful job search: in particular, to be aware of their competencies, skills and knowledge and to build your career strategies based upon them.

You are warmly invited to join the informal career talks by Lea Ann Dailey! Successful scientists share their experiences as a woman in natural science and tell the story behind their official CV. After the talk there will be enough time for informal discussion and networking.
Target audience are (female) natural scientists from our university and related institutes.

Working in the academic environment can be quite stressful and we shouldn’t forget to also take care of our mental well-being. The Leipzig University in cooperation with HIGRADE graduate school and yDiv organised a digital theme week that aimed at researchers at all career levels and offers different formats, e.g. short activating morning sessions and academic exchange.

After some motivation and first examples, we looked at groups systematically and explored the mathematical language to study them. There were exercises to work on and we discussed the solutions (even if incomplete). One of the goals was to understand the symmetry of regular n-gons and to really get in touch with mathematical reasoning. And we discussed where symmetry might play a role in participants’ work!
