Individual coaching at the Faculty of Medicine

A successful academic career on the path towards professorship not only requires excellent subject-related skills but also involves developing strategies and personal skills. Young female researchers each face very different circumstances when it comes to their career planning. Individual, tailored consultations with a professional coach are an important component when deciding on which direction to take.

We are therefore pleased to announce that we can offer you individual coaching sessions using funds from the target agreements 2023-2027:

  • Target group: Funding is intended for female postdoctoral researchers, habilitation candidates and assistant professors
  • Topics covered in coaching sessions: Individual consultation on aspects relevant to career development such as time management, leadership and balancing research and family life.
  • Scope: A coaching unit includes three individual sessions lasting 90 minutes each.
  • Coach: Coaches with experience in higher education consultation may apply directly or be appointed by the Office of Equality and Diversity, the Center for Continuing Education in University-Level Teaching and the Graduate Center.

How to apply

  • CV and list of publications
  • Letter of motivation (maximum 1 A4 page) stating the preferred coach if known.
