Postdoctoral researchers and late-stage PhD candidates are invited to join a free online career development session organised as part of Postdoc Appreciation Week Germany 2026 (PAW).
Taking place from 21 to 25 September 2026, Postdoc Appreciation Week Germany brings together more than 90 events covering topics such as career development, funding opportunities, the German research system, and networking. Activities are offered in both German and English and include online and in-person sessions.
As part of this year’s programme, the House of Young Talents (Postgraduate Centre of the University of Siegen) will host the online event:
Between Uncertainty and Opportunity – The Postdoc Phase in a Nutshell
Speaker: Dr Daniel Müller, House of Young Talents
Date: Thursday, 24 September 2026
Time: 10:15–12:15 CEST

The session is designed for researchers navigating the postdoctoral phase and will address questions related to career prospects, legal and employment frameworks, and realistic career pathways after the doctorate.
It may be particularly useful for researchers who are considering a future academic career, exploring opportunities beyond academia, or seeking to keep several career options open.
The session will provide concise and practical guidance on some of the key decisions and uncertainties that researchers may face after completing a PhD.
