Careers inside and outside of academia: Panel Discussion

After the PhD, a new challenge begins: finding a position where you can continue your research or a job outside academia where you can apply your advanced skills. This task is not always easy, and frequently a general overview of the available positions is missing.

Furthermore, in some divisions, up to 70% of PhD graduates will go into work outside of academia. There are many different careers which require or benefit from a research background. But often, students and early career scientists struggle to make the transition due to reduced support and networking.

In this panel discussion, scientists with a range of backgrounds give their advice on how to transition between academia and industry, and what are the pros and cons of a career inside and outside of academia.

In the final section of the webinar, a Q& A will provide the audience with a chance to ask their questions to the panel.

This panel discussion is aimed at early career scientists but anyone with an interest in a change of career will find it useful.
