According to a study by the Federal Statistical Office, 85% of doctoral graduates do not remain in the academic system and pursue non-academic careers. But which skills and characteristics are actually helpful for getting on well in these careers, finding your way and performing accordingly? 

Classic academic training at universities and non-university research institutions rarely leads to these career paths and many questions about personal and professional suitability and potential remain unanswered. In the new series “TUC-PostDoc PRAXIS online”, various scientists with doctorates have their say and report from practice. 

The series is a joint offer by graduate institutions at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, the University of Münster, the TU Clausthal and the Leipzig Science Network -.
