Excellence begins in the mind – doing science, shaping your career
How clarity, mindset, and strategic thinking transform research trajectories and teaching.
A professorial appointment is more than a career step – it marks a turning point. It begins a phase in which academic excellence, leadership skills and strategic positioning become closely intertwined.
During this sensitive period of transition, we – Martina Grünewald-Ernst, a coach with training in psychotherapy and neuroscience, and Prof. Dr Burkard Hillebrands, a solid state physicist – support researchers during the postdoctoral and application stages and after their first professorial appointment.
We explain what we specifically do in a podcast:
- Overview
- Episode 1: Excellence and Reputation
- Episode 2: Strategic Thinking
- Episode 3: Leading a Research Group
This podcast is an automated translation of the German-language podcast, using voices adapted to match the original speakers.
This is an initiative within the framework of the state research center OPTIMAS of RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau.
