Workshop Speakers

Slavic Seminary, University of Freiburg, Germany

Prof. h.c. Dr. Dr. h.c. Elisabeth Cheauré

Workshop 1: Academic Career Development

This workshop focuses on the process of becoming a professor: how do scientists best present themselves when applying for a position? Where do scientists find relevant job advertisements? The workshop will include an example of a job advertisement and use this as an example to reflect on the whole process.

Prof. h.c. Dr. Dr. h.c. Elisabeth Cheauré is a professor for gender studies and Slavic philology at the University Freiburg, Germany. She has been giving workshops and lectures on the topics of promotion of young scientists and the compatibility of science and family life and offered trainings for search procedures for new professors since 2004. Prof. Cheauré has received the Verdienstorden des Landes Baden-Württenberg for her engagement in the field of the equality of men and women in science and society. Participants of her workshop will profit enormously from her immense experience in these areas.

Leadership Development, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland

Andrea Kleinhuber

Workshop 2: Power, Politics and Personal Effectiveness in Academia

This workshop will focus on exploring the topics of power and self-empowerment with a particular emphasis on the challenges that young researchers are faced with during their dissertation process or as a postdoctoral fellow. The workshop will include interactive exercises and guided reflections that aim at developing new strategies for participants’ personal empowerment and self-leadership.

Andrea Kleinhuber heads the leadership development function at the University Hospital Basel and serves as coach, trainer and team developer on a freelancing basis. She has earned a Master’s degree in cultural anthropology from McMaster University, Canada, and holds postgraduate certificates in the fields of arts & media management, non-profit management, personnel & organizational development as well as change management from several universities and colleges in Germany and Switzerland.

Cognitive and Decision Sciences, University of Basel

Dr. Dirk Wulff

Workshop 3: The (Bayesian) New Statistics

To overcome the ongoing replication crises most researchers agree that we must reform the way we conduct statistical analysis. In this workshop, you hear about and learn to implement three approaches—power analysis, optional stopping, and Bayesian inference—that are aimed at measuring and improving the reliability of our statistical inferences. The workshop includes practical exercises using the programming language R. Participants with little or no background in R should complete the R basics primer prior to the workshop (click text to access).

Dr. Dirk Wulff is a researcher at the Center for Cognitive and Decision Sciences at the Department of Psychology, University of Basel. In addition to his academic work on human memory and decision making, Dirk regularly teaches courses on data exploration, statistics, and machine learning using the programming language R to academics and industry professionals as therbootcamp.com.

Panel Discussion

This year's panel discussion will focus on the Future of Science which will cover the topics of diversity, open science in research and career advancements for young researchers.
