Workshop: Fostering Your Scientific Career by Panel Participation & Internal Marketing

Target Group

This workshop can only be attended as part of the Career Development Program for Postdocs Non-Tenure Track and Tenure Track. 

As postdoc aiming at a scientific career you are often faced by a dilemma, the so-called rush-hour of life: you are expected to distinguish yourself in the academic field, publish excellent papers and successfully obtain third-party funding, while at the same time juggling work and family life. Not surprisingly, many regard requests to join a panel (and thus an internal positioning) as an additional burden whose benefits are uncertain.

Goals

The workshop aims at developing, together with you, approaches and solutions to the following questions:

• When and to what extent participating in university panels can be beneficial,
• Which pitfalls you should be aware of, and
• How to position yourself successfully (including one’s own agenda) in such a context.

• Analysis what type of panel participation may be useful in order to advance your individual career,
• Overview of panels at WU Wien, including their specific functions and relevance,
