Spot ON
Broadening Perspectives, Exploring Pathways
The postdoctoral journey is full of potential, yet it can leave researchers questioning their next steps. With Spot ON, postdocs gain access to a variety of engaging formats that offer inspiration, orientation, and practical insight. Whether you seek a close-up look at your colleagues’ day-to-day research, strategic advice on the road to a professorship, or takeaways from expert talks, the Spot ON series has you covered.
Spot ON - Postdoc Portraits
Spot ON Biopic
Spot ON Biopic
is a video format in which we combine photos and short film sequences with a highly abbreviated audio interview. The individual episodes give an insight into the day-to-day research of the postdocs and also contain elements of a classic portrait: What fascinates people in their field, what drives them, how do they see their future?
Spot ON - Paths to a professorship
Spot ON Audio
Spot ON Audio
is a podcast series featuring conversations with professors from Berlin's universities about the twists and turns of their career journeys. Recorded in our in-house podcast booth, each episode runs for about an hour and blends personal reflections with insights into the individual path to professorship. Rather than focusing on the classic career paths, the series highlights the decisive turning points and offers valuable tips for postdocs in their career planning. Some episodes are in English, others in German.
Spot ON - In a Nutshell
Spot ON Shorts
Spot ON Shorts
is a video format that presents talks from various Postdoc Academy (Berlin University Alliance) events in a compact format. We record the talks live and then edit them into short episodes that provide valuable insights into topics such as career talks and science pitches.
For our next podcast series, we are looking for people who once set out on the classic postdoc path but then took an unexpected turn. If you are an ex-postdoc working in a field far from traditional research – or if you know someone with an inspiring, unconventional career story – we’d love to hear from you! This upcoming series will be audio-only and focus on unconventional career journeys that began in academia but led elsewhere.
