Shaping your Research Career during Your PhD 2023 (For PhD students at the SUND faculty)

  • Description:
  •   

     A PhD study from the Doctoral School in Medicine, Biomedical Science and Technology is not only an outstanding achievement, but also a springboard for future development. It is so that many PhD students will pursue their career in other environment like industry, hospital, and public organization. It is thus of extreme relevance to plan your career development based on priorities, possibilities, and goals during your PhD study. The objective of this PhD course is to provide PhD students with tools that can help you to make a career development plan.

    This one-day course will explore requirements of pursuing a career within academia as well as within medicine, industry and elsewhere.

    You will also work on how to improve your impact and gain experience with creating an effective academic profile through your CV, online presence, and a dissemination plan.

    As part of these reflections, you will fill out a career profile test before the seminar and we will go through the overall implications of that on the seminar and after the course you will have the option for an individual career talk looking specifically at your situation and challenges.
