Welcome to the Indico page of the second ORIGINS PhD Workshop 2024!
We are pleased to offer you two workshops explicitly tailored to early-career researchers. They will take place from October 23rd to October 25th, presumably at the ORIGINS cluster in Garching.
The second workshop will be a one-day training on October 25th with the topic:
Career Planning after the PhD: Choose the Right Path for You
Embarking on a successful career beyond the PhD requires more than just technical expertise; it necessitates a well-structured plan and a deep understanding of your goals and values. This workshop will guide you to craft a personalized career plan aligned with your authentic self and your aspirations.
Gain clarity through self and career explorations. Align your career with yourself and not
the other way around. Set meaningful career goals and develop a concrete action plan.
In particular, we will cover:
- The research behind well-being and using your strengths,
- Understanding your motivations, skills, strengths, values, and career aspirations,
- Career paths in academia, industry, entrepreneurship, government and non-profit,
- Setting clear and achievable short and long-term goals that resonate with you,
- The importance of effective professional networking in getting the career you want,
- How to build resilience to navigate setbacks and challenges,
- Regular career plan assessments and adjustments.
Participants get to create a preliminary career plan through self-assessment exercises and group discussions. You will leave with a personalized roadmap outlining your meaningful career goals and the actions necessary to achieve them. Join us to take the first step towards a successful and fulfilling career beyond the PhD, tailored to your unique aspirations.
The workshop will be held by Dr. Emma Geoffray, a trainer and coach who has herself completed a doctorate in theoretical particle physics (www.growintoyourphd.com).
The number of participants is restricted to 20, so please register to the workshop by August 30th.
