On July 3, 2023 we cordially invite you to the next FAU Postdoc Day, which will take place online via Zoom!

Please register in advance via StudOn.

With the motto ‘Active Career Planning for Postdocs’, the event will address the factors that are decisive for different academic and non-academic careers, highlight methods of active career planning and provide insights into the appointment interview that usually takes place behind closed doors.

The purpose of the event is to provide you with some ideas for planning your academic or non-academic career, to show you what support FAU provides for postdoctoral researchers and to offer a forum for exchanging ideas and information.

Gain some input and ideas for your path to success during presentations and discussions, get in touch with experts from FAU and talk to professors who have already been appointed.
