Objectives and Content

In this workshop, we’ll talk about the job market for academics in Germany (and go over the differences between the German and international job markets).

•    What makes the German job market unique? How does it differ from the job market outside
     of Germany?
•    What differences are there in typical career paths for doctoral researchers in
     Germany and abroad?
•    How do rules and regulations on labor in Germany affect the job market and the
     hiring process? How might this differ from the international job market?
