Career Perspectives: Beyond the Postdoc
Science Manager in the Academic Sector
Are you wondering what comes next after your postdoc? Our new talk series, Beyond the Postdoc, offers insights into diverse career opportunities beyond postdoctoral research. In our first talk we welcome Dr. Tina Scheibe, Science Manager at the Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences. Originally trained in marine biology she left academic research after her PhD and postdoc stay at a Max-Planck-Institute to support postdocs as a researcher developer. Today, her tasks include developing concepts for junior professor positions, advising and supporting postdocs and the coordination of a doctoral research center.
The profession of science manager is still young, but changes at universities and research centers, where continuously tasks are emerging that cannot or should not be covered by traditional administrative or academic staff, are leading to a fast-growing field.
Join our talk to learn more about the field, the journey of Dr. Tina Scheibe and competences and skills that helped her succeed.
About Career Perspectives: Beyond the Postdoc
In this series, we want to explore the variety of career paths that can follow upon a successful postdoc phase –in academia, industry, public sector, entrepreneurship activities etc.
In each session, we will invite speakers from different academic fields and backgrounds—people that transitioned from a postdoc themselves or work in roles interesting and relevant to postdoctoral researchers. We want to talk with our guests about their career journeys: How did they approach the transition? What challenges did they face? How did they settle in a new role? Together, we will highlight their professional milestones, and reflect on the skills and competencies that helped them succeed.
Whether you already have a plan for what comes next or are still unsure about your options, this series aims to inform and inspire. Each talk will include an open Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and connect directly with the speakers.
Join us to explore various career paths and gain insights for the time beyond your postdoc.
