LiZZ-Coaching

In the fall of 2024, we organized a special event for doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers considering a university career with the goal of becoming a professor. During this event, the expectations for early-career researchers in linguistics were examined in detail, and key factors for success were discussed using real-life case studies. Participants also gained insights into the processes involved in habilitation and appointment procedures. One of the sessions was specifically reserved for first-generation academics, i.e., early-career researchers without an academic family background. Members of UZH even had the opportunity to earn ECTS credits.

If our members and other linguistics PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers are interested in a similar event in the future, they are welcome to reach out to us with their request. We will then consider whether we can make such an event possible again.
