International Perspectives, Challenges, and Opportunities\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The event is offered as an online format as part of the <\/em>PAW program<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join two tenure-track professors, Prof. Dr. Myfanwy Evans<\/a> and Prof. Dr. Outi Tuomainen<\/a>, for an open discussion on the academic career path leading to a tenure-track professorship in Germany. Drawing on their personal journeys to the University of Potsdam, the speakers will share insights into the opportunities and challenges of the tenure-track system, particularly from an international perspective. The Career Talk will provide postdoctoral researchers with a realistic view of what it takes to pursue a tenure-track position, highlight key career decisions and obstacles, and offer practical reflections on navigating the German academic landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the Career Talk, Dr. Adriane Liermann (Professorial Appointment Officer) will provide a brief introductory presentation about the German tenure-track system, outlining its key structures and framework conditions. Following the talk, she will join the tenure-track professors during the Q&A session and discussion with the participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5266,"template":"","pnb_event_tags":[],"class_list":["post-5265","pnb_event","type-pnb_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCareer Talk: Pathways to a Tenure-Track Professorship | Postdoc Network Brandenburg<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Join the PoGS Career Talk on September 24, 2026, and gain exclusive insights into international pathways toward a tenure-track professorship.
