Alumni Doctors Network: 2nd web conference on postdoctoral careers outside the academic sector

After a 1st web conference gathering alumni doctors who came to testify about their professional career after their PhD, the alumni network launches a new virtual event. 

This 2nd web conference is a virtual meeting allowing an exchange with former post doctoral students.

This event will be an opportunity to exchange with alumni, to gather some concrete and practical information on postdoctoral careers and to answer the various questions of the participants.

Currently working in the private sector, they will be joined during their intervention by a consultant, an expert in doctoral recruitment and a teacher-researcher from the University of Lorraine. An inspiring meeting that will provide more information for those aiming to make the transition to the private job market.

Are you a young doctor and/or post-doc trainee at the moment? You are a doctoral student at the end of your thesis, you are planning to do a postdoc?

You are wondering about the post-doc? You want to know how to make the most of this experience and the skills you have acquired? You are wondering about the expectations of a recruiter or a company? To answer these questions and many others, go to the second web conference of the network that will take place:
