Congratulations Dr. Nathalie Triches 🎓
She successfully defended her PhD thesis at the University of Helsinki on Jan 29th. We are pleased to announce that Nathalie will continue to be a key part of our team at MPI-BGC in Jena, where she will continue her research as a Postdoc. We are thrilled to keep her expertise and energy in our group as she transitions into this new role.

"All four specialists recommend developing a network of colleagues through your institution, conferences and postdoctoral associations."

This is a commonly misunderstood point. The best kind of networking you can do when you are a PhD student is to get to know other PhD students from other groups in your general field. Because they will be an invaluable source of info about your perspective post-doc supervisors (and in 10 years some of them will be your colleagues and collaborators).

How do I choose a principal investigator for my next postdoc?

A computer scientist is struggling to trust their postdoctoral research adviser after negative experiences with the previous two. How do you find one that’s right for you?

Dialogue is key for PhD success! Ulkrike Lohmann, Vice President for Doctoral Studies, emphasizes the need for consistent annual status conversations with doctoral candidates to ensure clear communication and proactive support. #DoctoralCandidates #AcademicCareer https://ethz.ch/staffnet/en/news-and-events/internal-news/archive/2025/05/vice-president-ulrike-lohmann-we-owe-our-doctoral-candidate-a-dialogue.html
“We owe our doctoral candidates a dialogue”

 The annual status conversations are still not taken seriously enough in doctoral studies, says Ulrike Lohmann, Vice President for Doctoral Studies, with reference to the survey of mid-career faculty. Overall, however, she gives a positive interim assessment of the implementation of the new doctoral regulations.

@c4r510 Nice! Tagging this for more reach: #fedijobs #getfedihired #AcademicCareer

I have been approached by an editor of #JOSS (https://fediscience.org/@joss@fosstodon.org) who told me about #JOSE (https://jose.theoj.org/ - for which I could not find a Mastodon handle).

The idea is to provide a low-hurdle academic reward for open access educational material -- with a particular computational emphasis.

Thing is, that you hardly get an academic “paper” if you develop teaching material. So, this might be appealing for some folk here. 😉
