Hi, I’m Dr. Isabelle Kohler

I help early-career researchers navigate academia.

I’m an Assistant Professor, researcher, lecturer, entrepreneur and certified coach with a passion for sharing my knowledge with others and helping them succeeding.

I have 15+ years of experience in supervising (PhD) students and 10+ years of teaching experience in academia. My mission is to empower early-career scientists to make them strive – in academia and beyond.

I’m here to help you reach your goals – would that be find your dream PhD position, navigate your PhD with a healthy mind, improve your productivity, or prepare the next steps of your post-PhD career.
