Target group

This offer is particularly designed for postdocs who graduated at least two years to a maximum of six years ago and who are currently employed at Heidelberg University.

Content and procedure

  • The career coaching process usually entails three appointments of 90 minutes each.
  • The exact procedure will be agreed upon during the initial meeting with internal coach Dr Susanne Scheer.
  • Internal career coaching is funded through the University of Excellence and is therefore free for postdocs.

If appropriate, you can also be referred to an external coach for career coaching. Please note that the costs are usually financed from personal, institute, or third-party funds.
