Transforming Science in the Era of AI
Navigating today’s research and career landscape requires more than scientific excellence. Early-career scientists face complex challenges: defining career goals, building visibility, establishing networks, communicating unique strengths, negotiating effectively, and securing opportunities. The Scientists Need More! Career Management Workshop Series provides a structured, interactive training that equips participants with the tools, strategies, and confidence to manage their careers proactively.

Through five interconnected modules, participants will learn how to:
• Assess and plan your career path with clarity.
• Build visibility and effective professional networks.
• Identify and communicate your unique selling point.
• Excel in interviews and negotiations.
• Secure funding and position for long-term success.

 

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Daniel Mertens heads two research groups, one group at the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ) in Heidelberg and a research group at the University Hospital Ulm. Since 2011, he has been training scientists, physicians, administrators and staff in transferable skills (www.scientistsneedmore.de).
