Interdisciplinary Research and Academic Careers – Opportunities and Pitfalls
A Digital Workshop for Doctoral Researchers, Postdocs, W1-Professors and Scientific Staff
Interdisciplinary research tends to be increasingly important for funding applications and other purposes. In career terms, however, it is also essential to keep one’s own disciplinary research focus and profile firmly in sight. The impulses of this short digital workshop will help you deepen your understanding of the forms and functions of interdisciplinary research and their relationship to academic career development. After the workshop, you will have fresh ideas for exploring and seizing opportunities, but also for dealing with challenges and risks associated with an interdisciplinary orientation.
Topics covered include:
- Interdisciplinary communication and collaboration: forms and functions
- Interdisciplinary aspects in a researcher’s or scientist’s own work: identification and application
- Academic careers in Germany: relevant structures and conditions
- Interdisciplinary research: suitable contexts and institutions
- Career goal professorship: interdisciplinarity and permanent positions
