Desk Reject: der PhD-Castthe Assistant Professor Podcast Author: Alexander Staub, Philipp Becker and Marco Leander Rapp
In the podcast "Reject and Resubmit: The Assist.Prof Podcast" (formerly Desk Reject: der PhD-Cast"), Alexander, Philipp, and Marco share their experiences as Assistant Professors in Business, Economics and Information Systems at different universities across Europe. The goal is not necessarily to inform, but to offer a candid lens into the joys and struggles of three junior scholars trying to find their way in the jungle of academia. We hope you accompany us on this journey and maybe even learn a thing or two (but don't count on it). In each episode, the hosts prepare a discussion topic in one of the following categories: academic life, theory and research, and work besides research.
