careerMe mentoring reorganised: Two programme lines and flexible entry

The careerMe mentoring programme at the University of Erfurt has been further developed. In addition to academic career paths, the programme will also support appointments outside the university.

The careerMe mentoring programme at the University of Erfurt has been restructured. As part of Competence-oriented personnel development for academics, the University of Erfurt is expanding its range of career counselling and support services: In addition to supporting academic careers, the focus will also shift more strongly to career options outside the university in future.

The programme is now offered in two new programme lines:

  • Careers in academia: Academics offer themselves as mentors and support doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers and tenure as well as career-track professors
  • Careers outside the university: External mentors (from business, culture or foundations, i. e.) support doctoral candidates and postdocs with appointments outside the academic system.

In addition, entry into the programme is made more flexible: Applications for the careerMe mentoring programme are now possible at any time.

Further information on the restructured programme can be found at:

About careerMe mentoring at the University of Erfurt

Mentoring is a proven career development tool and is based on personal dialogue between experienced mentors and mentees. The programme focuses on the transfer of knowledge and experience as well as individual support for career development in a trusting, non-hierarchical relationship.

As part of the careerMe mentoring programme, advanced doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers and tenure and career-track professors are supported for a year. The programme offers insights and orientation for both academic career paths and appointments outside the university.
