The Graduate Academy examines in a current study the working situation, qualification conditions and career paths of postdoctoral researchers in Jena. Although the postdoctoral phase is regarded as an essential and crucial phase of a scientific career, it has so far been little researched. A new study of the Graduate Academy of Friedrich Schiller University Jena is now trying to shed more light on the postdoc phase and clarify how postdocs themselves assess their working situation and their future career. More than 400 postdocs from the University and other non-university research institutes in Jena answered the questionnaire. They provided information about their career goals within and outside of the academic system, about their assessment of future career opportunities, the support they received from their supervisors, and last but not least about the compatibility of family and career. Changed risk perception. "The current study continues our survey from 2010," explains Dr Hanna Kauhaus, Managing Director of the Graduate Academy and co-author of the study.
