PhD students wanted for video shoot!

What do you do during a doctorate? How does it work? Can I also do a PhD?
Students ask themselves these and many other questions before starting a doctorate. We would like to answer these questions in a video to give students an insight into the doctorate in their respective subject.
To make these videos, we need engaged doctoral students from every scientific field!
If you would like to present your research and your experiences in your doctorate, please contact Henriette Kolbinger (henriette.kolbinger@uni-mainz.de).
She will conduct an interview with you and, if possible, film a few scenes from your day-to-day work. Of course, you will receive the interview questions in advance!
We look forward to working with you!

News: Digital information evening about the PhD scholarship of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes

The Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes offers a digital information evening for those interested in doing a doctorate or those in the early stages of doctoral studies:

 

"You’re considering applying for a scholarship for your PhD? Or you’re already in the process of applying for the PhD scholarship of the Studienstiftung and have questions about it? Then join the digital information evening organised by a group of fellows of the Studienstiftung who can answer all your questions about the scholarship and the application process. The Zoom-meeting will begin with an overview of the scholarship (facts and figures), but the main part will happen in breakout-rooms, where you can pose all your questions. There the fellows will also speak about their personal experiences during the application process and the time in the Studienstiftung.

By the way: It’s not necessary that you’ve been in the Studienstiftung during your basic studies to apply for the PhD scholarship!

 

Date: 21st March 2023, 7 p.m.

Registration (for the Zoom-link): botschafterprogramm@studienstiftung.de

News: Open Round Table “Between privilege and precarity: the many facets of doing a PhD in Germany”

The Gutenberg Academy (GA) and the Gutenberg Graduate School of the Humanities and Social Sciences (GSHS) are organizing an Open Round Table on the topic "Between privilege and precarity: the many facets of doing a PhD in Germany".

The event is aimed at all interested parties at the Johannes Gutenberg University and the partner institutions within the Mainz Research Alliance as well as the partner universities of Darmstadt and Frankfurt/Main (Rhein-Main-Universitäten). A closer look will be taken at the situation of PhD students as well as at the transition to the postdoc phase. Furhermore the #ichbinhanna discussion will be placed within a larger context, looking at it specifically with reference to the doctoral phase and its immediate aftermath.

There will be two keynote presentations. The first of these, by Dr. Sarah Widany, will highlight both current research findings on forms of precarity and diversity during the doctoral phase and the impact of these on further (academic) careers. The second presentation by PD Dr. Kristin Eichhorn will examine the reform proposals for the WissZeitVG and the conclusions to be drawn from over a year of #ichbinhanna specifically with regard to the situation of doctoral students (and recent doctoral graduates) in Germany. P

 

The event will take place on March 27th, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the dean’s office of faculty 03 (ReWi, room 03.150).
