Profile
Dr. Silke Oehrlein-Karpi has been working as a coach and trainer for people working at universities since 2008. Prior to that, she worked for 10 years as a biologist in the field of basic medical research and gained extensive experience in setting up and successfully managing scientific project groups. Before becoming a coach, she led a project group as PI in the Collaborative Research Center 490 at the University Medical Center in Mainz.
Since then, through numerous conversations with hundreds of people working in science, she has acquired a broad and highly differentiated “contextual knowledge” of working conditions in science, in addition to her further qualifications. During her 10-year membership in Coachingnetz Wissenschaft e.V., she was able to exchange ideas and develop together with other science coaches in a collegial atmosphere and within the framework of high quality standards. She enjoys sharing her expertise, combined with her resource- and diversity-oriented perspective, with the people she works with in coaching sessions and workshops.
