Core competencies for postdoctoral fellows and young scientists

An academic career can have very diverse goals, which can be pursued individually depending on one's interests. To obtain a university professorship, both a strong interest in research and a passion for teaching are prerequisites for achieving this career goal. In addition to the professional requirements, the young scientists should also have additional key qualifications that support their everyday research work.

The Faculty attaches particular importance to the continuous training of young scientists and the qualified supervision of doctoral candidates. Applicants for admission to habilitation must provide evidence of at least four continuing education courses on core competencies for young scientists and university teachers. Participation in further training to ensure good scientific practice is mandatory.

New section – „What is he/she doing now?“

There is a life after the IBOC - our alumni prove this again and again.

Many former colleagues have agreed to answer a small questionnaire and here we'd like to regularly present their stories.

The more detailed, and very fascinating "interviews" can be found in the Bocipedia for institute members. 

We would like to start with Benjamin Berntsson. Benjamin studied chemistry and successfully completed his doctoral studies in carbohydrate chemistry and glycosynthases in 2017, within the CLIB graduate school. Currently, he is working in the chemical production at Evonik, where he joined in 2018 as project manager in R&D. Next year he has the exciting opportunity to spend 18 months in Argentina.

Benjamin advises current doctoral students who wish to work in industry to undertake an internship and to gain additional qualifications. Furthermore, he explicitly states that foreign language competence, particularly in English, are advantageous.

Thank you Benjamin for the interesting perspective. We wish you a successful and enjoyable time in Argentina! The complete questionnaire can be found in the BOCipedia.
