Co-operative
Consulting for postdocs - a new programme by Graduate
Academy
Resulting from our recent
second Postdoc-Survey, Graduate Academy initiates a co-operative
consulting programme for postdocs. The idea
of co-operative consulting, or intervision, is that
colleagues or members of the same professional status
group get into an active and structured exchange to
solve problems and discuss questions around a shared
topic of their professional life. The regular meeting
with the group enables you to get know-how and useful
information from status colleagues, or even pass on
your own knowledge. For more information on the idea
of co-operative consulting/intervision, click here.
Jena Graduate Academy offers all postdocs to either
take part in a series of co-operative consulting
meetings this fall, which are guided by a coach and
introduce the methods as well as the general topics
around professional roles and issues of postdoc life
(see next article, workshop is in German).
We do, on the other hand,
also support individual efforts by postdocs who would
like to go into exchange with others about specific
topics:
- We organise meeting dates and coordinate possible
group members; we function as contact person for
questions and issues around the co-op.
- Once you start a group, we will help you by
organising an impulse workshop with an experienced
professional, around the topic of your co-op group.
- After the workshop, you decide as a group to go
into regular meetings around your co-op topic, and
we will help you organise that.
- Co-op groups that work together for a longer time,
will receive qualification vouchers for further
expert workshops.
Legible to the programme
are all prostdocs at FSU or in our member graduate
programmes (academic staff members, scholarship
holders, junior research group leaders). If you are
interested in this offer or would like to be informed
about your options, don't hesitate to contact us.

programme for postdoc initiative projects a
fresh new start: Financed by university means to enable
early career independence in postdocs, we will fund
self-initiated events (symposiums, lectures, etc.) for
the year 2020, as long as they are started and
co-ordinated by at least two early career researchers
(postdocs - however, co-ops with doctoral candidates are
accepted). Also, publications may receive funding
support, if they result from an initiative project that
has already been funded by Jena Graduate Academy.
The call for applications will be
published September 2019, funding will start in 2020. In
the case of well-founded exceptions, we may be able to
fund projects for the fall of 2019. Please see Graduate

New
DFG funding programme for young postdocs - the Walter
Benjamin-Programme
Starting this July, the
German Research Foundation (DFG) is offering a new
funding programme specifically for the early career
phase right after the doctorate. Before, there had
been a gap in the DFG funding portfolio that offered
scholarships for international research stays for
young postdocs, but had nothing to offer for early
postdoc researchers within the country. The Walter
Benjamin-Programme is now closing this gap by enabling
postdocs to realise their own research inside or
outside Germany, for a maximum period of two years.
The programme supports postdocs in developing their
personal academic career by realising their own
independent research project: Throughout the first
years following the doctorate, mobility can be a very
important aspect of an academic career, thus the
programme regularly assumes that the applicants change
their research institution. The hosting research
institution may be chosen freely - either in Germany,
or abroad. Even a combination of research phases in
and outside Germany is possible.
The funding in Germany will be realised through a
regular research position, for research projects
outside Germany, successful applicants will receive a
scholarship. The funding includes a monthly lump-sum
to cover for material and travel costs.
Applications can be
submitted at any time, without deadlines. It is
possible to apply before the conclusion of your
doctorate, as soon as the dissertation has been handed
in with your relevant faculty.
Legible to apply are
German and international researchers. Note that for
international research projects there is a
restriction: Applicants must have concluded research
in Germany for at least three years prior to the
application.

Until 1 October 2019: FSU scholarship
programme for female postdocs
Starting 9 August 2019, Friedrich Schiller University
will announce their call for applications
for the next round of its scholarship programme for
female postdocs at FSU. The programme aims to support
the academic profiling of female postdoctoral
researchers:
Throughout an academic career, there may occur
financial problems due to transition periods,
and female researchers are very often affected by this
instance. In order to support the academic career
advancement of excellent postdoctoral researchers in
such transition phases, the university offers
scholarships financed by the Thuringian Ministry of
Science, Industry, and Digital Society. Applicants may
receive funding for preparing or advancing a new
research project or -subject, as well as for preparing
an application for third party funding. Furthermore,
funding may be granted for re-entry into the academic
career, for bridging phases, or the conclusion of
postdoctoral academic qualification. Scholarships
include a monthly payment of EUR 2.000, with an
average running time of 6-12 months.
For more information around application details, or
for a personal consulting appointment with Graduate
Academy, please see our website.
