Do you ever find yourself wondering:

Where can I get a job after my PhD?

OR 

What will my job tasks be like?

As a PhD you develop specialized skills and abilities and some find it challenging to actually visualize where they will end up or in which job function.

Interested in a one-on-one meeting with an industry profile?

Since the deadline for Mentor Programme applications in August, 25 PhD students have been matched with mentors from the industry. Even though applying for the Mentor Programme is not an option until summer 2017, you can still meet up with a PhD profile through our Career Talks initiative.

Anil Mor, MD with a PhD in clinical epidemiology, tried out Career Talk last spring at the end of his PhD studies. We matched him with medical director, Meredin Stoltenberg from Ferring Pharmaceuticals. Anil wanted to explore his options after he had finished his PhD and get a better sense of how it actually feels to be working in the industry.
