Seminarier och workshops hösten 2021
Academic productivity (for post docs) 21 September, 9.00–12.00 (in English)
This workshop provides you with a toolbox for increased academic productivity as a post doc. The background to this workshop is that we often focus on the content of our work but sometimes forget to pay attention to our own work process or how we work, think and act. However, the process is central in order to complete our work on time and feel well during the process. More specifically, you will learn three academic productivity tools; the 80/20 principle, end product focus and the unit method, and apply them to your own work situation. Kursledare: Åsa Burman, Finish on Time. Sign up for the seminar on the link below and the heading "Seminars" https://www.timecenter.se/karriarochledning/
Exploring the world outside academia, 1 October 9.00-11.00 (online, in English)
Have you thought about leaving academia but not sure where to start and or how it will be once, and if, you do leave? In this seminar you will meet Holly Guthrey who has made the journey of transitioning from academia to the public sector and has learned a great deal about how to do this successfully along the way. After working as a researcher at Uppsala University for seven years, Holly recently decided to leave academia to discover what lies beyond the university walls. She will discuss what lead to her decision to pursue another career path, advice based on her experiences with job coaching and applying for non-academic positions and what it feels like to leave your research behind. She will further reflect on what work life is like outside academia in her new position at the newly launched Uppsala International Hub initiative that aims to support newly arrived international talents and their partners/families settling in Uppsala.

How to build a support network for your next career step(s), 8 October 9.00–12.00 (online, in English)
Have you ever been told networking is important for your career but somehow found it challenging, uncomfortable and somewhat embarrassing to actually do it? This workshop aims to demystify networking and provide tips and tricks on how to build a network to support you in your career. The event will also introduce strategies both for networking in person and on digital platforms such as LinkedIn. Facilitated by Kerstin Fritsches of PostdocTraining, the session will give you the opportunity to interact with other researchers at Uppsala University while working through your own approach to creating a network that will help you accelerate your progress and achieve your career priorities.

Collaboration: your third portfolio- an increasingly sought after competence 29 October 9.00-10.00 (online, in English)
UU Innovation Partnership Office (UU Samverkan), part of the university's innovation office, provides an insight into their offerings and resources available to researchers about collaboration with external partners (for example businesses, healthcare, authorities) and how collaborative projects can strengthen the merit portfolio. The ability to collaborate outside the university and communicate your research results is often required when applying for funding and experience in forming and working efficiently together in large consortia can be an important ability to develop as an academic researcher and leader. During the seminar, we will share practical tips and examples to describe how successful collaboration can be accomplished. Tools and inspiration for identifying impact and developing collaborative skills will also be presented. Lecturer Therese Fagerqvist, UU Samverkan.

Coaching; mindset and skills, 11 November 9.00-12.00 (workshop on campus, in English)
Are you a supervisor, mentor or leader? Do you have someone nearby that is about to take a step into a world that neither of you know much about? Maybe this someone is a doctoral student about to finish, a post doc with a contract running out or a colleague contemplating change. Welcome to this workshop where we in a small group and interactive setting explore the mindset and skills of coaching to help someone else start the journey into unknown ground. During the workshop we will explore how to develop a professional dialogue with supportive, socratic questions and listen with heart and mind. We will make use of a working material that you can bring home for future use. Sign up for the seminar on the link below and the heading "Seminars" https://www.timecenter.se/karriarochledning/

How to Get the Most out of Small Talk, 10 December, 14.00-17.00 (online or on campus, in English)
Events such as conferences and seminars obviously offer opportunities to share research, but they also offer excellent opportunities to meet people and develop your professional network. Unfortunately, many people find the social aspects of these events intimidating or uncomfortable. In this workshop, we will explore the many aspects of successful small talk, suggesting strategies and providing practice. Participants will engage in a number of activities designed both to get them thinking creatively about social encounters and to give them practice in meeting new people in a stimulating and fun atmosphere. Lecturer: Gregory Garretson, Unit for Professional English. For more information and application
