Workshop: After your PhD - Job Search and Careers for Scientists

After finishing your PhD, you need to decide what comes next: do you want to stay in science or do you apply for a job in another working area? This is not an easy decision to make, because scientists often do have little knowledge of the non-academic job market.This workshop intends to give you an overview of strategies for finding a job in science or the non-academic job market and aims at doctoral students in all phases of their PhD.
