Doctoral & postdoctoral researchers

© CERes

As a research centre, we at the Münster Centre for Emerging Researchers (CERes) support doctoral candidates and postdocs on their qualification paths. In close proximity to research, as well as working closely with the faculties – and also with a view to a variety of career paths – we contribute to a research culture which lives up to its responsibilities to society, makes emerging researchers strong and raises their visibility.

The Münster CERes offers a broad qualification program. In addition to workshops on interdisciplinary skills, good scientific practice and career development, new formats such as lecture series and coworking are also offered. Participation is open to all doctoral candidates and postdocs at the University of Münster and is free of charge. Further information can be found in our conditions of participation. Please feel free to contact us at any time with your ideas!

Focus on postdocs

There are still needs for guidance and training, but there is a clear shift. Certain things become even more important for postdocs: planning their academic career, sharpening their research profile and raising its visibility, leadership skills, learning how to successfully acquire third-party funding, and applying for professorships. At the same time, tightly scheduled everyday life as a researcher leaves almost no time for taking up additional offers. CERes uses snappy formats and the events it plans are closely linked to the needs expressed.
