Young talent
promotion
at the RPTU
The RPTU considers the promotion of young academics - from doctoral studies to professorships - to be a special task and an important mission. It attaches great importance to scientific career and personnel development and offers a diverse and target-group-specific range of continuing education, consulting, support and coaching services in German and English. Particularly popular across all career phases, for example, is the mobility promotion program, which provides financial support for travel to conferences and research stays.
The youngest "scientific offspring" is also important to us - the Family Service will be happy to inform you!
Co-determination through
academic self-administration
We promote the commitment and self-organization of young academics, e.g. in the elected doctoral student representation and through their active involvement in the junior researcher support institutions at both locations.
Doing a doctorate at the RPTU
Doctoral students at both locations find a wide range of support - from continuing education and financial support opportunities to counseling and coaching.
In addition, we promote interdisciplinary and personal exchange, e.g. within the framework of various networking formats, such as the Young Researchers' Symposium and doctoral regulars' tables.
Shaping the postdoc phase
Whether they have just completed their doctorate or are on their way to a professorship, postdocs will find a variety of support options and structures to accompany them on their further academic or non-academic career path. For example, start-up financing for third-party funded projects, advice from the start-up office and networking events.
Assumption of a
junior research group leadership,
Junior or tenure-track professorship
In many areas, this phase represents a special challenge in which we are happy to accompany you at all levels, e.g. through financial support. The fireside evening offers you the opportunity for direct exchange with the university management, for collegial exchange and for initiating interdisciplinary cooperation.
