The Academic Staff Development (ASD) team provides coaching and advice on planning careers outside academia for (post)doctoral researchers. If you are a researcher at the University of Konstanz, simply schedule a confidential consultation with a trained coach to develop your own individual career options and plan the next steps together.
Coaching topics can include, for example:
- Orientation and clarification of career goals
- Analysis of personal competencies
- Targeted networking and research
- Job search and the application process
- Personal topics relating to career planning
In the area of career advice, the teams from Academic Staff Development, the Career Service and Kilometer1 work together very closely. As the university's central service and contact point for academic staff development, the ASD team provides individual coaching and advice for researchers who would like to pursue a career outside academia after concluding their doctorate or a postdoc position.
The Career Service team provides support for all students, doctoral researchers and graduates with planning their next career steps outside the university. The Kilometer1 team provides information and advice for starting a business. Since the teams work so closely together, you will be connected quickly with the right person for your specific question.
