CARRIE B. DOHE, PhD"We have been working with Dr. Carrie Dohe since 2014. As part of the qualification of young scientists at the University of Stuttgart, she has given courses on the topics ‘Academic Writing and Publishing Research Articles in the Life Sciences and Natural Sciences’, ‘Academic Presentation and Conference English Skills’, ‘Academic Reading and Study Skills’ and ‘Time and Self-Management for Doctoral Students and Researchers’. Dr. Dohe has excellent knowledge in the fields of scientific writing and publishing, academic work and self-organization. The knowledge imparted was of great benefit to the participants for their courses. As an American, Dr. Dohe could give the participants valuable tips and suggestions on the linguistic level that make scientific writing in English more effective."
Dr. Jürgen Hädrich, Head of the Graduate Academy of the University of Stuttgart (GRADUS), Germany |

TESTIMONIALSProfessional Presentations
“The contents of the course were optimally adapted to our needs. Ms. Dohe gave example of specific vocabulary and phrases; language exercises were conducted, `language emergency situations´ trained, as well as suggestions for the design of lectures, speeches, and abstracts given. Each participant presented his or her own conference presentation and received individual feedback, also with video recordings. I highly recommend Ms. Dohe's course. It is the ideal refresher in the run-up to international congresses and I am sure that our department will continue to take courses with her.”
Prof. Dr. Annette Becker, MD, Department of Preventive and Rehabilitative Medicine, University of Marburg |

Conference Preparation
“Ms. Dohe knew how to create a pleasant learning atmosphere in which the skills acquired could be strengthened. She competently accompanied the learning process with constructive comments and was able to respond to the individual needs of the participants. It was also very helpful that Dr. Dohe incorporated her own experience as an active scholar into the course. For anyone who would like to improve their ability to present themselves adequately at international conferences, I can strongly recommend participating in this course.”

Writing and Publishing Your Research
"I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Dohe's workshop, Writing and Publishing Research Articles in English. It introduced me to essential principles of elegant writing, as well as key academic insights. Dr. Dohe’s teaching style exemplifies the very values she promotes: simplicity, clarity, and conciseness. Her advice is invaluable to academia.
Alban Sharkey, University of Leipzig, Graduate School for Global and Area Studies (GSGAS) “Ms. Dohe, I greatly appreciate the workshop [on writing and publishing research articles] you held for us! With your expertise and experience you are contributing to a sophisticated qualification program for doctoral students.” Sibel Vurgun, Director, Graduate Academy, Eberhard Karl University of Tübingen, Germany |

Successful Academic and Postdoctoral Applications for the International Academy
"I attended Dr. Carrie Dohe’s workshop on “Successful Academic and Postdoctoral Applications for the International Academy” through GRADE – Goethe Research Academy for Early Career Researchers in October 2024. It was one of the best workshops I have ever attended. I was impressed by the support and realism Dr. Dohe brought to the whole classroom, how well she dealt with people with different backgrounds and with different needs, and her critical point of view, making us realize that we need to be ourselves. She really tailored the workshop to the needs of each participant, with very flexible content, something that is not seen frequently in academia. It was very apparent that Dr. Dohe wanted the best for the workshop participants.
Dr. Dohe’s attention to detail was exemplary, as she analyzed examples of cover letters and CVs to illustrate best practices. I was also very thankful for Dr. Dohe’s willingness to share all her materials that she herself produced or were based on her own experience. The biggest take-home message that I immediately used was Dr. Dohe’s "after-the-interview thank you message". Following this advice, I sent a thank-you message to a recruiter, who, although unable to currently hire me, volunteered to put me in contact with other potential employers. I would highly recommend this workshop to other academic job seekers, but also to anyone with an academic background who is or plans to be in the job market."
