Job entry in Germany for Doctoral Students and PhD Holders
The career entry after obtaining the PhD is often characterized by questions and obstacles. Most doctoral candidates already consider during their doctoral studies which industry and work outside academia they like and how the transition to the extra-academic labor market could succeed.
However, they often do not know how to get one of the vacant jobs and how to transfer their acquired or upgraded skills “to extra-curricular practice“. PhD students and postdocs in the first two years after graduation face even greater difficulties.
After graduating (in Germany), many of them want to stay in Germany and get started on the German job market. This event aims therefore at discussing which specific obstacles they face – if there are any – and how international PhD graduates can successfully make their way into non-university workspaces. Based on two field reports, doctoral candidates and postdocs can exchange ideas and strategies. The reports are supplemented by a member of the Robert Bosch Multimedia Car GmbH and moderated by employees of the International Office and the Graduate Academy.
