Postdoc-Community – Network for PostDocs<\/h2>\n \n
\n
\n \n\n\n\n

To foster a supportive and collaborative postdoc community, we have launched several initiatives that promote both scientific and non-scientific exchange. These include regular lunch meetings<\/strong> for informal networking as well as workshops<\/strong> on career development and additional qualifications, as well as sport activities to encourage work-life balance and social interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

\n

A key part of our activities is the \u201cHow to\u201d postdoc meeting series, which serves as an open platform for postdocs from all disciplines to share expert knowledge and practical advice. These informal sessions provide a space to discuss the many aspects of everyday scientific life that go beyond research itself \u2013 such as project management, administrative tasks, time management, or meeting organisation. The topics and dates are announced via our mailing list, and we warmly invite all postdocs to contribute their ideas and experiences.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201eMeet the Neighbours\u201c-Symposium<\/h2>\n \n
\n

To promote networking with other postdocs in the immediate vicinity, the \u201cMeet the Neighbours\u201d symposium was held for the first time in August 2022. Together with the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology and the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens, there was a day of impulse lectures on our scientific work and discussion rounds on topics such as acquiring third-party funding, mental health and career planning. Here, the basis was created for informal exchange, but also for future cooperation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4365","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPostDoc Community -
