In this third episode of PhDreams, we discuss the particularities of the academic job market with our guest, Professor Andreas Lanz from the University of Basel. We discuss how to make your application file stand out, why the research presentation might not be most important component of a job interview, and the pros and cons of assistant professorships versus postdoc positions. We also answer a listener’s question about how to handle conflicts with your PhD supervisor.

Join us for an interview full of insider knowledge and practical advice!
