Career day for PhD-candidates and postdocs

The Faculty of Medicine wants to provide you with perspectives and practical advice on how to prepare for your future career after obtaining your doctorate. Each fall, the Phd-coordinators at the Faculty of Medicine arrange a career day that adresses options and possibilities for young doctorate holders in the life sciences. This year, we will continue with the popular «My way» presentations of former PhD-candidates. We will also arrange several parallel hands-on workshops on career-building skills.
