Location:

Graduate Academy, Mommsenstr. 7, seminar room 4 (basement)

Description:

Doctoral researchers do an important part of the research. But when they start they are not independent researchers already – they need to learn. Supervision of doctoral researchers is therefore challenging because learning processes take place on several levels: in science, in communication, in collaboration etc. It is helpful to reflect on how to supervise and develop doctoral researchers in a way that enables them to produce the best possible results and to become independent researchers.  

On the second day you are invited to a single coaching session. This gives you the opportunity to talk about topics of individual interest. Appointments will be made at the end of the workshop.

Content: 

• Recruitment: how to find and how to select doctoral researchers.
• How to clarify one's own expectations and criteria and how to bring them in line with expectations of doctoral researchers?  
• How to develop doctoral researchers and how to enable them to be independent?
• Feedback as a basic instrument: how to give motivating feedback and how to learn as supervisor out of doctoral researchers feedback?
• Demotivation and setbacks: Ways to support doctoral researchers during typical challenges.
• How to deal with conflicts and difficulties?
• What are typical difficulties of doctoral researchers and what does it mean for supervisors and how to overcome them?
• Grading of the dissertation.
• Common mistakes of co-supervisors and how to avoid them.
