My profession:
I had many different jobs in my life: science management, teaching, taking care of recruitment processes of professors, trainer for Teaching in Higher education …
Since 2009 I work as a coach for scientists and counsel them for their careers, but also for self-organization, leadership skills and didactics. I founded career counselling for academics along with some colleagues.
Ask me about career paths in and outside of academia, application, job interviews …
