| | |  | | NEWSLETTER ::: NO. 15 ::: DEC 2017 | | 3RD JOINT NCCR WORKSHOP 2017: CAREER DEVELOPMENT & APPLICATION TRAINING | | Knowing how to identify job opportunities and to prepare for the selection process is very important. | Therefore the two NCCRs RNA & Disease and Kidney.CH invited young scientists from October 4—6, 2017, to a joint workshop on career planning to the seminar hotel Urs & Victor, in Bettlach (Solothurn). This was the third collaboration of the two NCCRs.
A key step in the career of a scientist is to undergo job interview and application processes. However, young scientists find themselves on their own when it comes to deciding on their next career step or to developing skills for their future career. These aspects are traditionally not part of the academic training. The workshop was designed to help young scientists to explore their personal motivation and to prepare them for their professional decision making process. Two international coaches from hfp-consulting introduced 15 doctoral students and postdocs to different tools for their career development. The feedback from the participating scientists was very positive. |
