Circle U Teams: Call for Early Career Researchers
Circle U’s Humboldt-Universität is looking for early career researchers (doctoral students or post docs) interested in leading an innovative teaching-learning format that focuses didactically on student-centered participation and science mediation. We are looking forward to applications from all disciplines and all Circle U. partner universities. PhD students and postdocs, whether they are scholarship holders and/or employees of non-university research institutions are welcome to apply to lead a Circle U. Team until 14 August 2022.
Circle U.-Teams are digital seminars in an innovative teaching-learning format, initiated by postdocs or doctoral students.
By leading a Circle U.-Team, CU-Team leaders gain teaching and mentoring experience and at the same time gain insight into international research and teaching cultures. In these project teams of students and junior researchers, Circle U.-Team leaders are coordinators and scientific contact persons for the students, but also participants in the process themselves.
The basic idea is that the Circle U Teams should
– be interdisciplinary or open to participation from several disciplines in terms of their content
– have a thematic link to at least one of our Knowledge Hubs i.e. Climate, Democracy or Global Health
– be delivered online-only and in English, so that students from all Circle U. institutions can benefit
– enable students to play an active role, but unlike the HU-Q Teams, the focus would not need to be on actual research, but could be on other forms of learning or skills development (e.g.“Systemic Thinking“ as a future skill for sustainable development)
The Circle U.-Team leaders will be given a teaching contract for one semester at HU. The temporary contract pays 40,31 € per teaching hour for 32 teaching hours in the winter semester (from October 2022 to February 2023). The Circle U.-Team leaders will participate in a didactic training course on the basics of higher education didactics from concept to implementation. This training course can be completed with a certificate.
The Circle U.-Team should be open to Bachelor’s and Master’s students from different partner universities and different subjects, so that interdisciplinary and international perspectives on the subject matter are possible. The Circle U.-Team itself consists of at least 5 students of the Circle U. universities, who actively work on the study project and gain their first experience in an international and interdisciplinary team.
