“No way! The deadline is next month already…?” Postdocs need to be able to manage a wide variety of projects, including research, tutoring, teaching and spending sufficient time with your own family. It takes good project and time management to use the resources available to you in the best possible way. This workshop offers different methods and strategies to help you achieve this, with a focus on real-life situations and acute needs. The goal is to reflect on and pragmatically adjust work and self-organization and the highest-priority projects are managed in the best possible way.

Als Wissenschaftler:in mit einem eigenen, anspruchsvollen Forschungsprojekt werden die vielfältigen Herausforderungen nach Abschluss der Promotion nicht weniger. Um sich bei den Fragen rund um die Arbeit auszutauschen und zu unterstützen, bietet ein Peer Coaching den geeigneten Rahmen. Das oft als Quadratur des Kreises erlebte Multitasking als Forscher:in, Lehrer:in, Manager:in und Mensch mit Privatleben kann in seinen Problemstellungen via Feedback und Beratung neu bewertet und strukturiert werden. Der Kick-Off-Workshop vermittelt die Arbeitsweise von Peer-Coaching-Teams und initiiert eine Probesitzung.

“If only there was someone to encourage me now and again!” Many people feel left alone when writing their PhD thesis. Having the chance to talk to others about it, receive support and feel a sense of appreciation are not automatically part of the process. As a result, it can be quite difficult to give the project the priority it requires and work on it with discipline. Peer coaching in a PhD team with four to six peers will give you the chance to not only discuss problems, but also find medium-term and long-term solutions for them.
