Divulgação: Workshop "Career Paths" Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, July 6-9, 2009

Career Paths - Careers for PhDs

Only one out of every five Science Ph.D. holders secure jobs in Academia. The skill-set developed during a doctorate is invaluable in non-academic professional settings. Despite this, most Ph.D. students and postdocs have little or no information on the the different career paths that lay before them.

Career paths is a 4 day long workshop showcasing alternative careers for PhD holders. Career Paths aims to promote an open discussion among PhD students, postdocs, and several internationally successful professionals with very different and exciting career paths. This workshop will offer insights into a broad array of careers ranging from Science Communication to Technology Entrepreneurship.

In order to make informed career decisions, it is essential to know the types of opportunities available. Whether you are working towards a PhD degree or already hold one, whether you have decided to stay in academia or not, Career Paths will be a great opportunity to meet outstanding speakers and learn about alternative career paths, some of which are fully compatible with academic work.

Take the time to get to know our speakers, you may just give your career a new direction.
