Seminar Series: Careers for PhDs
With the "Careers for PhDs" - Seminar Series the graduate program is trying to give the graduate students more insights in the diversity of jobs that can be occupied by scientists holding a doctoral degree.
To that aim, we invite young, senior or former scientists from various fields outside of academic research to speak about their jobs and the opportunities offered to people with a scientific background. These talks take place about every two months. After the presentations the audience is offered to discuss with the speakers in a more familiar ambience as well. While enjoying "beer and brez’n" they can get a personal impression of the speaker and get in touch with him and his company.
Cathleen Holze, Kristina Popova and Eva Keilhauer are organizing the Careers for PhDs Seminar Series in 2011.
Everyone is welcome to suggest companies or speakers!!
