Postdoc Survey

• to obtain a more accurate picture of the situation and to identify potential for improvement
• to review and further develop programmes and framework conditions for postdoctoral researchers
• to repeat the survey every three years in order to compare the results and test the effectiveness of measures.

The following areas are addressed particularly in the survey:

• Conditions for research and teaching
• Funding and employment
• Qualification offers and advising
• Health and well-being
• Future plans

When creating the questionnaire, both the nationwide surveys conducted by the „Barometer für die Wissenschaft“ and „Bundesbericht Wissenschaftlicher Nachwuchs“and surveys from other universities were taken into account in order to ensure comparability.

As a thank you, we will raffle off two day tickets for Europapark, 10 surprise bags from the University of Freiburg, and for 3 people the opportunity to receive up to 6 hours of intensive coaching on individual topics (e.g. strategic career planning, leadership, conflict management, etc.) with experienced coaches.

First results are expected towards the beginning of 2025 and will be published here on this website.
