Advancement of Junior Scholars
The options for pursuing a successful academic career at Technische Universität Berlin, including pre-university programs for inquiring young minds, degree programs, doctoral programs and postdoc work, provide an effective incentive for attracting new talent. Maximizing diversity has an important role to play in this process. With regard to doctoral studies, this includes the option to complete a dissertation within an academic chair, cooperative forms of supervision as well as the opportunity to complete external dissertations in collaboration with commercial organizations. For the postdoc phase, the focus is on projects, junior research groups, and junior professorships.
The advancement of outstanding junior scholars is also aided by a targeted flexibilization of the professorial system. Our goal by 2020 is to offer 10% of current W3 professorships (the highest paid category of professorships established in the University's budget) for an initial restricted period of six years as W1 or W2 professorships, thus enabling these positions to also be offered as junior professorships. A new Tenure Track procedure will then allow select junior professors to advance to the next level at Technische Universität Berlin. This concept is intended to enable the University to advance outstanding junior scholars and strengthen their commitment to a future at Technische Universität Berlin, while at the same time developing promising new areas of research.
Qualify in times of Corona
Dear Junior Scholars of Technische Universität Berlin,
The COVID-19 crisis has presented us with many challenges. At our university, this is particularly true for you, as you are currently completing your doctorate or postdoc. It is our aim to provide you with the best possible support during this time.
The Center for Junior Scholars (CJS), until November 2020 TU-DOC – Office for Doctoral and Postdoctoral Services, is currently working from home just like all other TU Berlin staff. However, we will of course continue to offer you advising and support. In addition, TU Berlin as a whole is making every effort to offer simple and flexible solutions to the difficulties you now face in your work.
If you are experiencing specific difficulties, please contact the CJS by phone or email. Such difficulties may include questions about deadlines (for example submission deadlines, deadlines for thesis defenses or Habilitations, postponement of appointments); financing; canceled official trips; difficulties accessing research, literature and resources; or physical or mental health challenges. The team will do its best to provide you with direct support or direct you to the relevant University institution for further assistance.
We hope that despite the COVID-19 crisis you will find the opportunity to concentrate on your doctoral or postdoctoral work. The CJS is also happy to arrange exchange partners for the formation of virtual working and writing groups with whom you can network digitally or by phone from home, regardless of subject or topic.
All questions and issues can be addressed directly to your supervisor or to the ombudspeople for doctoral researchers of your faculty. Of course, you can also contact the CJS at any time. Please do not hesitate to contact us at info(at)cjs.tu-berlin.de or call (030) 314-29622 if you have any questions or comments.
Stay healthy – and best wishes from the Center for Junior Scholars (CJS) team
