Ungestört schreiben und gemeinsam vorankommen – Das Graduiertenzentrum der TU Dortmund lädt Promovierende, Postdocs und Junior Faculty zum Schreibretreat ein.
Ob Dissertationskapitel, Publikation oder Projektantrag – anspruchsvolle wissenschaftliche Texte erfordern ein Höchstmaß an Konzentration. Doch im universitären Alltag zwischen Lehre, Projektarbeit und Administration fehlt oft genau das, was für den Schreibfluss essenziell ist: ungestörte Zeit und der notwendige Fokus.
Unser Schreibretreat schafft diesen Raum. In zwei intensiven Tagen lassen Sie den Hochschulalltag hinter sich und konzentrieren sich vollkommen auf Ihr Schreibprojekt – ohne Ablenkungen, ohne Verpflichtungen und ohne Perfektionsdruck.
Wir bieten Ihnen einen strukturierten und zugleich unterstützenden Rahmen, um gezielt ins Schreiben zu kommen und dranzubleiben. Neben den reinen Schreibphasen besteht die Möglichkeit, sich in kurzen Impulsen auszutauschen und/oder sich individuell von uns zum Schreibprozess beraten zu lassen.
Voraussetzungen:
Bringen Sie Ihr aktuelles Schreibprojekt, Ihren Laptop sowie alle notwendigen Unterlagen/Utensilien mit, um direkt in Ihre individuelle Schreibphase zu starten. Nutzen Sie diese zwei Tage, um Ihre wissenschaftlichen Vorhaben entscheidend voranzubringen.
Onboarding & Framework Program
The annual welcome event provides optimal onboarding for all new junior professors. Regular information and networking events address the challenges and opportunities of this job profile and enable exchange and networking at the peer level. Workshops are available through the TU Academic Leadership Program for new appointees and the events for junior faculty at the UA Ruhr Research Academy.
Review Meeting & Mentoring
The program also provides individual advice and support for Dortmund assistant professors in the form of review meetings. Two review meetings take place during the qualification phase: Before the interim evaluation with the Dean of the respective department and after the interim evaluation with the Vice President Research.
The JProf TU mentoring complements the review meetings and offers the opportunity to reflect on goals, strategies, and career perspectives with a senior researcher with whom there is no dependent relationship. A mentor can be someone who (1) holds a W2/W3 professorship at the department or is related to the subject, and (2) has been at TU Dortmund University for at least 2 years. The mentorings are organized centrally. The arrangement is bilateral between assistant professor and mentor.
With an overview of assistant professors and their main research areas, TU Dortmund University gives these researchers visibility. All assistant professors at TU Dortmund University are regularly kept up to date on the target group-specific offers via a semester mailing.
Further information on JProf TU can also be found in the concept paper.
Contact person for JProf TU
The „Juniorprofessur“ (here translated as "assistant professorship") is an independent career track to a full professorship in the German academic system, introduced to replace the traditional track requiring a habilitation.
Assistant professors are expected to conduct independent research as well as to teach and supervise at (under-)graduate level. They have a limited term of six years, during which they are given the opportunity to establish their own research agendas and academic profiles.
“Juniorprofessuren” are not always tenured, but advertised as positions with or without tenure. In both cases, a formal evaluation procedure is defined, see https://berufung.tu-dortmund.de/en/appointment-procedure/interim-evaluation/ to learn more regarding the interim evaluation at TU Dortmund University.
Qualification in the framework program:
In addition to these qualification opportunities, the framework program ProfTU keeps you up to date on current developments in the fields:
- Good scientific practice
- Research data management
- Teaching methods
Upcoming events in the qualification program for assistant professors can be found on our events page and at the top of this page.
