PhD workshops on Academic Practice

A series of workshops focusing on academic practice that will take place in the Winter semester.
As you will notice the workshops will cover a wide range of issues, from teaching opportunities (and where to look for them), to publication strategies, from the search for grants during and after a PhD, to discussions concerning the job search and the hiring process. I hope you will find those helpful. The workshops will take place on Tuesdays, 5.20-7pm, starting from 9 February. The first 60 minutes of the workshop will explore the topics indicated below. The format consists of a discussion and Q&As (no lecture).
