Professional Careers: Beyond Academia 2017

The event will be a series of careers talks where you will have the chance to hear from employers who are PhD holders themselves. The careers talks will be followed by a networking fair in the morning and a second networking fair in the afternoon that will focus on career paths for researchers outside of academia in the life science sector and other closely related sectors.
