Bremen Early Career Researcher Development

BYRD is the support center for early-career researchers at the University of Bremen. We are the central contact point for doctoral candidates, post-docs as well as established researchers seeking information and support for further training, networking, and consulting.

Events

As an early-career researcher, you can choose from our wide range of free BYRD workshops. On our web pages, we have also bundled the offers of other university-wide providers.

Researcher Support on Campus

On our pages you will find an overview of the university-wide service facilities available to researchers.

Consultation and Networking

BYRD advises doctoral candidates on questions surrounding doctoral studies and processes. We support academic and personal exchange through various networking formats.

Consultation and Networking for Postdocs

BYRD also offers postdocs and advanced researchers advice on postdoctoral studies and career options both within as well as outside the scientific community. We inform about training measures and develop formats for networking.

Our BYRD Mixer is a great opportunity to connect with fellow doctoral researchers, especially for newcomers, and share experiences about PhD life in Bremen, all in a relaxed and friendly setting. The BYRD team will be there as well, happy to answer any questions you may have about pursuing your doctorate at the University of Bremen. Germans who want to meet their international fellows are also warmly welcome to join!

Doctoral researchers are confronted with a wide variety of communication situations in their everyday work – for example, when collaborating with supervisors, in research groups, or at conferences. This worskhops provides concrete tools and opportunities to practice to help PhD candidates to represent their concerns clearly and to confidently fulfill their role in an academic context.

If you are looking to increase accountability around your writing goals, you might consider working with a writing buddy. We connect you with a committed writing partner. Together you create a clear timeline for your writing projects - your next chapter, article, proposal -, you help each other to stay on track with deadlines, and you exchange drafts.

Writing is more fun when you're in good company - that's why we have established Shut Up and Write, a bi-weekly space for you to work on your dissertation. No registration necessary - just drop in and write! Please find the dates and the necessary Zoom information here.

Follow us on LinkedIn! We will keep you updated about upcoming BYRD workshops and will share news and calls that are of relevance to early-career researchers or concern funding options.
