PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Knowledge and competence in your field of research are the foundations for a successful doctorate. Equally important, not only for your academic development, but also in other professional contexts, are a range of key competencies, such as communicating adequately in different settings, organizing yourself and your work, and mastering IT. The fact that only one out of ten doctoral researchers are able to continue their career in academia highlights the need for a varied, and well-developed, professional skill set.

Our Professional Development Program takes this into account and helps you to prepare for different career paths.

Academic Performance courses provide guidance on the way to your doctorate and help you to successfully navigate academic life. On the basis of the principles of research integrity, the workshops in this section are designed to develop your reading, writing and teaching skills and to support you in presenting and publishing your research as well as in defending your dissertation.

Management Competency courses give you the opportunity to acquire and improve additional skills that complement your academic performance and help you in your future career. You will find workshops focusing on a range of IT tools, support for motivating and organizing yourself, as well as strategies for improving your networking skills.

Each career requires individual planning. Our Career Development program offers courses that support you along the way, from exploring options and choosing career paths to applying for jobs. You also get a chance to gain new perspectives, for instance by getting acquainted with the basics of economics.

TRAINING – COACHING – MENTORING

Within the Professional Development Program you can choose between different educational formats that cater to your individual needs and career goals.

Training sessions make up the largest part of our program. In their interactive workshops our experienced trainers instruct you in various fields and techniques, such as self-presentation, academic publishing, teaching at university level, or time management.

Coaching in small groups helps develop personal awareness and power. Here you can reflect on your existing skills and knowledge and find the best ways to enhance your performance. Our qualified coaches not only guide you in learning, practicing, and evaluating strategies for your doctoral degree; they also help you to determine your professional potential and to devise a suitable career strategy.

Our mentoring program supports female doctoral candidates in exploring and pursuing their career options by pairing them with experienced professionals who offer guidance, encouragement and support. Mentors and mentees meet regularly throughout a one-year program during which they participate in specially designed workshops, coachings and networking events.

One of the core responsibilities of the Dahlem Research School is to promote research integrity as the basis of sound academic work. From the very beginning of your doctorate we support you in developing strategies and gaining the confidence you need to conduct and present your research in accordance with the standards of good scientific practice.

We cooperate closely with the Humboldt Graduate School (HGS) of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Potsdam Graduate School (PoGS) of the University of Potsdam. This allows us to expand and diversify our services as well as cater to specific disciplines.

Our joint courses will introduce you to the main principles of research integrity in your field, i.e. conducting and communicating your research honestly and openly, employing reliable and accountable methods and treating your colleagues and their work with fairness.

Ziele Spielt der Bezug auf Forschungsliteratur für Ihr Projekt eine große Rolle? Fragen Sie sich manchmal, wie Sie bei der Fülle an Material den Überblick behalten und das Gelesene beim Schreiben produktiv und korrekt einbeziehen können? Gute wissenschaftliche Praxis beginnt nicht erst bei der Überprüfung eines abgabefertigen Manuskripts, sondern bereits beim Lesen und Bearbeiten von Fachliteratur. In diesem Workshop lernen Sie, Ihren Umgang mit Fachliteratur von Anfang an überprüfen, um Forschungstexte effizient zu lesen, zu bearbeiten und (plagiats)sicher für eigene Texte zu verwenden.

Inhalte • Forschungsliteratur im Schreibprozess• Leseziele und Lesestrategien• Lesenotizen: Leseergebnisse dokumentieren• Materialorganisation: den Überblick behalten• Grundregeln guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis im Umgang mit Fachliteratur• Plagiatsprävention: Textwiedergabe in eigenen Worten• Strategien zum Schreiben mit Bezug auf Fachliteratur

Sie arbeiten an Material aus Ihren Schreibprojekten und entscheiden selbst, in welchen Sprachen Sie schreiben.

Methoden Kurzvorträge der Trainerin, praktische Übungen in Einzel- undGruppenarbeit, Diskussion

Date Thu./Fri. 26/27 April 2018, 09:00 - 17:00

Venue Silberlaube, Thielallee 38, Room T121

Objectives In this course we will focus on how to write scientific texts in such a way that they can get published and cited. Dissertations are often a combination of related research projects with individual scientific questions or hypotheses. We will examine how research questions influence thesis and chapter structure and how to clearly communicate the answers to these questions. Participants will learn about their individual approaches to writing and develop skills to efficiently and effectively communicate their research in field-specific ways.

Content • Asking and answering a scientific question• The structure of scientific writing (sections & paragraphs)• Readability and clarity• Writing in separate stages• Revising a manuscript (peer review and collaboration)• Scientists as communicators

Methods The course is a combination of short lectures, discussions and in-depth exercises for which the participants will use their own research data and own current writing projects. It is therefore important that participants have already started their current research projects and preferably are in the process of writing about their research.

Objectives The complex and multifaceted character of academic work presents a particular challenge. Intricate research projects are spread out over an extended period, often with few external deadlines, and project structures are made even more complicated by the expanding and shifting nature of research questions. It’s easy to feel like you’re standing at the base of a mountain piled high with unread articles, tangents to explore, and pages to write, with more questions than answers in your head, unable to see the peak of the mountain through the clouds.In situations like these, project management tools can be a valuable resource. They help you to reduce complexity and divide overwhelming tasks into small, easy-to-manage steps. In this workshop you’ll learn the basics of project management and apply project management tools to your own doctoral or research projects.

Content • Defining concrete project goals, examining and understanding motivation, and developing successful strategies for defining project scope

• Managing project tasks and phases, creating work breakdown structures, and defining work packages

• Effectively using timetables, milestones, and processes to steer projects successfully

• Analyzing project risks and preparing risk management plans• Monitoring progress and identifying (potential) delays far in advance of

the deadline• Effectively applying project management tools to participants’ projects in

the framework of the workshop

Methods The workshop will be presented in an interactive and engaging style with ample opportunity for participant questions and involvement. Methods used include interactive group activities, small group collaboration, coaching pairs, and input.

They will gain new understanding of the dynamics of hierarchy, the conflicts within them and the pressures from above. Participants will also learn how to motivate and inspire both themselves and their teams to tackle new challenges and so ensure success.

Content This workshop will teach you the deep understanding of differing motivations and hidden agendas needed to be able to resolve conflict effectively. It will also give you the skills to motivate a diverse group of individuals and so mould them into an effective team while coping with the demands of the people above you. This workshop will cover:• Motivating others• Dealing with people above and below• Dealing with difficult people• Persuading and negotiating• Self confidence

Methods The workshop draws on the personal experience of all participants as well as that of the trainer, thereby ensuring that the training is specific for and relevant to the participants’ individual needs.

Objectives For most people, job hunting can be a daunting and demoralizing task. This is especially true if you are not sure what career you want to pursue. Many people job hunt with a CV and covering letters, but CVs and covering letters don’t tell you where to apply. This workshop will provide you with ways of finding the right career for you as well as a more energizing and motivating alternative to the usual “Send a CV and hope” method of job hunting.

Content The workshop will teach you how to:• Discover and realistically assess your marketable skills• Reliably determine the company / sector / next step that is right for you• Access the hidden job market of unadvertised positions• Actively manage the progress of your search (rather than send your CV

and hope for a positive response)• Give yourself the edge over others who use the more traditional methods

of CV and covering letter• Become the “preferred candidate” or even have positions created

specifically for you.• Gather the information needed to aid the job hunt and salary negotiations• Job hunt in a way that is interesting and not demoralizing

Methods The agenda is flexible and set by the attendees. The workshop willbe very interactive. Expect to be asked lots of questions, expect tobe challenged, expect to participate!

Please note This workshop will not cover writing CVs and application letters.For a workshop on this topic, please refer to “Writing Successful JobApplications, in Academia and Beyond“ (p. 64).

DRS PRO BUSINESS UND DRS PRO TRANSFER — VON DER WISSENSCHAFT IN DIE WIRTSCHAFTTraining for the Job

Nach der Promotion öffnen sich Ihnen eine Vielzahl von Karrierewegen. Die wenigsten Promovierten schlagen langfristig eine Laufbahn in Wissenschaft und Forschung ein. Als Fach- und Führungskräfte von morgen sind Sie in der privaten Wirtschaft oder im öffentlichen Sektor gefragt und auch der Gedanke an eine Unternehmensgründung liegt oft nicht fern.

Die Dahlem Research School unterstützt diese unterschiedlichen Karrierewege mit gezielten Angeboten: Die Programme DRS Pro Business und DRS Pro Transfer bereiten gezielt auf Berufsfelder jenseits der Wissenschaft vor. Beide Formate sind in enger Kooperation mit Profund Innovation, der Gründungsförderung der Freien Universität Berlin, und dem Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaft entstanden.

DRS Pro Business verbindet die Vermittlung von betriebswirtschaftlichen Grundlagen mit Angeboten zur individuellen Potenzialanalyse und bereitet dadurch auf den Berufseinstieg in der privaten Wirtschaft oder im öffentlichen Sektor vor.Bestandteile des Programms sind u.a. die Erstellung eines Kompetenzprofils, ein Planspiel zur Simulation typischer Unternehmenssituationen und eine Einführung in die Betriebswirtschaftslehre.Vertiefende Veranstaltungen aus dem Bereich Career Development (PDP) der DRS und dem Kursprogramm der Kooperationspartner können die Teilnehmer/innen nach individuellem Bedarf wählen.

Objectives The complex and multifaceted nature of many tasks – from scientific research to publishing projects, assignments at work, or even personal transitions – can present us with a challenge. It’s easy to feel like you’re standing at the base of a mountain, unable to see the peak for the clouds, with more questions than answers in your head. Where should I begin? What do I need to do?

In situations like these, project management tools can be a valuable resource. They help you to reduce complexity and divide overwhelming tasks into small, easy-to-manage steps. In this workshop you’ll learn the basics of project management and apply project management tools to your own doctoral or research projects. Our goal for this workshop is to plan a personal project or part of a project (depending on the scope) per participant.

Content • Using project management tools for your own projects• Defining project goals• Creating work breakdown structures and defining work packages• Planning milestones, procedures, and timetables • Planning resources• Analyzing project risks• Monitoring progress

Methods • Input• Individual and group work• Practical exercises• Work on individual participant projects

Objectives Peer mentoring is a powerful tool for you to stay motivated and to work continuously throughout the different stages of your doctorate. During the 4 sessions led by an experienced trainer, you will meet regularly with 4-6 doctoral candidates (= peers). In every session, you will report on your progress and then ask your team for feedback or input (ideas, methods, advice). Based on the input of your team and your current situation, you will then set a new goal to achieve until the next session. The trainer will provide you with different listening and questioning techniques to help you get the maximum of support out of your team. After the 4 sessions, the team can continue to conduct peer mentoring sessions among themselves, without the supervision of an external trainer.

Content The workshop will cover the following topics:• How to structure and conduct sessions of peer mentoring based on the

success team concept• What peer mentoring offers? The importance of asking the right questions

in effective peer mentoring• Support others: How to listen and ask helpful questions - basic

questioning and listening techniques• Variation in the process: Different methods for group consultation• Working with diversity: group organisation and dynamics• Possibilities and limitations of group mentoring

Methods • Short presentations on methods and background• Individual and group exercises• Reflective discussions

TRAINING für internationale Promovierende der Freien Universität Berlin


Trainer/in Dr. Dieta Kuchenbrandt

Datum Mo., 28. Mai 2018, 09:00 - 17:00

Ort Dahlem Research School, Hittorfstr. 16

Ziele Aufgrund des wachsenden Konkurrenzdrucks und der prekären Beschäftigungsverhältnisse am akademischen Stellenmarkt stellt sich für viele Wissenschaftler/innen die Frage nach einer möglichen Exit-Strategie in Verwaltung, Industrie oder Wirtschaft. Gleichzeitig haben viele Wissenschaftler/innen jedoch den Eindruck, dass die während der Promotion erworbenen Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen außerhalb des Universitätsbetriebes keinen Marktwert besitzen und eine alternative Perspektive in Industrie und Wirtschaft nicht gegeben ist. Insbesondere internationale Promovierende sehen sich Schwierigkeiten auf dem deutschen außeruniversitären Arbeitsmarkt gegenüber. Diese Sichtweise verengt den Blick für die Möglichkeiten einer Karriere außerhalb des Wissenschaftsbetriebes und schränkt zugleich die Flexibilität und Risikofreude für eine Hochschulkarriere ein.Das Seminar soll Anstöße geben, den eigenen ‘Marktwert’ zu prüfen, Karriereerfordernisse und Karrierewege innerhalb wie außerhalb der Universität kennen zu lernen und einen potentiellen Plan B zu entwerfen. Damit soll das Seminar auch dazu beitragen, die Hochschulkarriere aus Überzeugung und nicht aus einem Gefühl mangelnder Perspektiven zu gestalten.

Inhalte Arbeitsmarkt für Promovierte, Karriereoptionen und -wege, Anforderungen an Promovierte innerhalb und außerhalb der Universität, Identifikation von Karrieremotiven und Qualifizierungsschritten, Stärkenanalyse.

Methoden Im Seminar werden neben Input durch die Dozentin Selbstexploration anhand von Fragebögen und Arbeitsblättern, Gespräche, Kurzpräsentationen der Teilnehmer/innen und Brainstormings eingesetzt.

Sie befinden sich in der Endphase Ihres Studiums oder haben die Prüfungen abgeschlossen und überlegen, ob Sie dem Studium eine Promotion folgen lassen sollen? Vielleicht hat Ihnen auch bereits Ihr Professor/Ihre Professorin eine Promotion nahegelegt? Die Entscheidung für oder gegen eine Promotion hängt nicht nur vom geeigneten Thema ab, sondern auch von der Klärung einer Vielfalt organisatorischer und persönlicher Fragen. Bei der Abwägung des Für und Wider stehen Ihre Motivation, Ihre beruflichen Ziele und Ihr Hang zu mehrjährigem selbstdisziplinierten wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten auf dem Prüfstein. Ist die Entscheidung für eine Promotion gefallen, gilt es die wichtigen organisatorischen Aspekte wie Betreuersuche, Finanzierung und Zulassung zu klären. Wer sich mit diesen Fragen frühzeitig auseinandersetzt, legt die Grundlagen für ein erfolgreiches Dissertationsprojekt.
