Dr. Barbara, an experienced academic consultant, has launched a new 7-week challenge designed to help academic professionals explore career opportunities in German universities. The program, which runs from February to March 2025, provides structured guidance for academics considering relocation to Germany’s expanding higher education sector.
The challenge is structured across four distinct phases—Exploration, Decision-Making, Preparation and Final Steps—helping participants gain clarity on whether relocating to German academia aligns with their personal and professional goals. The program is available via Substack at https://germanyneedsnewprofessors.substack.com
Delivered via Substack emails from February to March 2025, the challenge breaks down each aspect of academic relocation into manageable exercises. Topics include adapting to German academic culture, crafting competitive CVs and cover letters and navigating the logistics of moving. With more than 15 years’ marketing experience and a track record in four German universities, Dr. Barbara provides realistic guidance tailored for both US and international scholars.
As nearly 40 percent of German professors are set to retire over the next 10 years, universities are seeking fresh talent and increasingly offer roles in English while new staff learn German on the job. Dr. Barbara’s consulting background—supporting over 350 academics, postdocs and PhD candidates—reinforces the programme’s credibility. Past successes and official data highlight Germany’s stable research funding, high quality of life (health care, free or low-cost childcare, low gun violence) and welcoming attitude to global talent.
