Career Seminar Series

The Career Seminar Series, organised by the Researcher Support Team, aims to to provide our researchers with an overview of academic and non-academic career possibilities. In the monthly seminars life science doctoral graduates, who have taken different career routes, share their career so far, the day-to-day activities in their current role as well as the challenges and the expertise required for their positions.
