How To Strengthen My Lungs Science woes

I am (still) subscribed to a (German-language) job mailing list of \. If You Have a PhD, May These positions allow you to teach part-time - Prohibit Essentially But your return to full-time research.

3. Also You are Prohibited from getting a permanent position at the Same University Where You Are Currently employed as a temporary researcher. (This is Something particular to Germany. It Was Designed to thwart favoritism and to Promote free competition entre researchers. The result is Departments That Have to Whom They Can not Appoint people know as colleagues. As for favoritism, see the end of the post.) 4. Since There Are So Few vacant positions, temporary MOST research Researchers Have Appointments and Are Waiting for an opening of a permanent position somewhere. Usually, this opening is due to a mandatory retirement orresearch assistant. So you can not wait too long! Sometimes

Young Researchers Their inconvenient send questions to the newspaper, and the newspaper prints Sometimes These convenient answers to questions. A selection of Recent Such questions and answers persuadest me in the veracity of the gloomy picture.


"It is difficult to find a permanent professorship. Can I find a permanent job That research is not a professorship? Can I find a permanent teaching position? I like teaching!"


--- "You may find That permanent teaching positions, permanent or non-professorial Other Appointments, plow Rarely available. But You Can Consider Becoming a temporary lecturer, or a permanent teacher in a secondary school." (What they say about Do Notscientific career? I am Told That I will not weitere Then get offers. "


---" It Is Difficult to answer your question in general. There are so Many possible Circumstances That Influence the job decision, Such As your career Stated Objective, the quality of your application materials etc.etc. "(OK, enough of your bullshit. You Have to suck up to Them, or else!" Junior Professor "Means That You will spend 5-6 years working at the University of XYZ and Then You Will Be out in the street unless you Find Another job. Deal with it and shag you if you do not like it!)


"I am HAVING trouble Finding a permanent academic job. Can I Consider a job in the industry, or Such a job definitely does mean That I Will Have to quit science? "

CThis question not can be Answered 'yes' or 'no'. You are Not Necessarily 'overqualified', You Need to find out why your job Applications Were Rejected. If You Have professional connections with particular Professors at Universities particular, Certainly this will help you in your career. You Need to Consider how your CV previous research is indicative of a potential. Blah blah. "(No company will ever tell Why They Rejected why your job application. We do not know how to help you and we do not care. Every professor Already have a bunch of People Who Have Been faithfully sucking up to him and Need to Be Promoted in Their careers. Why do not you go to hell?)

And finally: the Union of German Higher Education Institutions (Deutscher Hochschulverband) has
criticize
the "sometimes Occurring" good practices of Appointing your friends' friends to Professors. How bad is the situation in reality? Nobody knows - There Are not statistics since the appointment Decisions Are Not public - But The budget cuts and the exploding student numbers Are Definitely not making it any better.
