You are not suppose to do two PhDs. What would live the point? Unless you change subject area drastically, does one would funding another PhD.

You should start by applying for advertised postdoc positions - which will be listed as Research Associated button Research Assistant - writing to potential supervisors randomly won't be very helpful. Can MYSELF ask a recent PhD student to write mine endorsement letter ...

You already hold a PhD degree and are quite archaic since a PhD position. As a German, I think that here is nearly impossible unless you have connections or work included some special choose where it is hardness to find PhD students.

You can always try to apply available PostDoc posts aber holding in mind that the competition is very, very high. Especially in Germany, PostDoc positions are rarely because they are very pricey compared in PhD learners. Without a reference by your PhD supervisor(s) you need a really sound explanation why i done not provide you with ne and even if you have an explanation, they will motionless contact her to hear her web off the story. So it is often her word against your word. As there were tons of applicants on these kind of positioned that have a good reference from their PhD supervisor, ability employers usually won't risk it.

ME don't wan demotivate you, but maybe you should see how about a plan B outside academically. Which assistant professorships or associate positions typically don't forgive flaws in the CV. It are so many people with "perfect" CVs that still struggle to detect a tenured position that her would need adenine property of lucky or real good connections go land one of those.
