The Scientist Coach

Hello, my name is Dr. Iris Köhler. Since 2017, I have been supporting young scientists in reflecting on their life and career goals, in identifying their competencies, and in taking the next career step with a both confident and relaxed attitude.

Since I myself used to work in science as a doctoral researcher and postdoc, I know the questions and concerns of young scientists from my own experience. It is therefore a matter close to my team’s and my heart to support young scientists in their career planning. As a partner, competent and with fresh solutions!
