This market functions according to an internationally standardized procedure. Three crucial ingredients of a successful application are 1) the letter of application, 2) the job market interview, and 3) the presentation of the job market paper. Arguably, the first contact of the applicant with the recruitment committee of the hiring academic institution is the letter of application. It is the first chance to make a good impression and, therefore, should be conceived with great care. During the job market interview, candidates are also expected to succinctly summarize their research in a few sentences. It is essential that candidates are well-prepared for this exercise. The presentation of the job market paper takes place in a regular seminar set-up and lasts between 60 to 90 minutes during which many questions are asked. The job market seminar will prepare participants for these challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is meant to mimic the atmosphere of typical job market interviews and job market seminars. Hence, it includes multiple lecturers in the same room at the same time. The seminar targets PhD students in their 2<sup>nd<\/sup> to 4<sup>th <\/sup>year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, the course is run on-site. The course is valuable for students who want to engage in the academic market as well as for those who want to reflect on this next important career step. Optimal number of students is 3-4. Priority given to PhD students in 3<sup>rd<\/sup> and 4<sup>th<\/sup> year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learning Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will learn to<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\">\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Present their research in a clear and articulate manner<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Handle questions in a seminar and keep track of time in an active seminar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Give insightful comments to presentations of other researchers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Prepare an application letter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"ulux-list-item\">Be prepared for job interview<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Registration &amp;
