Keynote speech on the fundamentals
Approaching an assessment process with the right mindset
This keynote speech is about how to start the application process for a professorship with the right mindset, clear strategies and sound self-reflection.
The path to becoming a professor is more than just a formal application process – it is accompanied by a change in role: from researcher to leader, from specialist to shaper of academic teaching and research. This keynote speech focuses on how to start the application process with the right mindset, clear strategies and sound self-reflection.
The focus is on the following questions, among others:
- How do I change my view of my professional role?
- How do I develop a sustainable career plan?
- How can working on my values and professional profile give me orientation?
The lecture offers practical ideas, motivating food for thought and first steps for individual preparation for applying for a professorship.
This lecture is part of the six-month event series “Well positioned for your (first) application for a professorship”, which is aimed at postdocs, junior research group leaders and junior professors at Leipzig University.
