CS/Postdoc Workshop: Off Campus: Career Paths in Non-university Research Institutions

Germany has one of the most developed networks of university and non-university expertise in the humanities. This workshop aims at giving an overview of structures and career options within the humanities, but outside of universities. It will also inform about options to gain further insights into what expertise is needed in the field of scientific infrastructures and where to learn more about different career paths.  This course is intended for advanced doctoral researchers (at least in third year of study) and postdocs.

Peter Haslinger is full professor for the history of East Central Europe at Justus-Liebig-University Giessen and director of the Herder-Institute in Marburg, an non-university institute in the realm of the Leibniz Association which specializes in the history, art history and digital humanities of East Central Europe. He is also Principal Investigator at the Giessen Center for Eastern European Studies, the GCSC and the Center for Media and Interactivity, all located at Giessen University. Moreover, he functions as a spokesperson for the Herder-Institute Research Academy which aims at bridging the gap between scholarship in Eastern European Studies and the development of research infrastructures.
