Due to a rapidly changing working environment, an increase in diversification of job opportunities as well as the difficulty in planning academic careers, the need for career orientation among postdoctoral researchers (R2) is continuously rising. As part of systematic career promotion, the University of Kassel offers individual career coaching for all postdoctoral researchers. The aim of the coaching is to gain clarity about one's career goals, achieve a well-founded assessment of one's competence profile, and acquire skills for active career development. Career coaching can be conducted in both English and German.
