Career day

The IMPRS-LM Student Symposium is hosting a Career Day on the 4th of April 2025. The aim of the Career Day is to provide participants with insights into different career opportunities and broaden their knowledge of the academic and industrial job market after the PhD.

Nine speakers from diverse fields will share their journey from their PhD to their current positions. The speakers, representing academia, industry, and editorship, both within and outside of Germany, will give talks in the morning about their career paths in 15-minute presentations. Students will then have the chance to engage in insightful discussions with the speakers in a “speed dating” session in the afternoon. Small groups of students will be paired with speakers and will be able to ask questions and receive honest feedback about their chosen careers.

Finally, the day will be capped by a student get-together in the evening, also attended by the speakers, providing an opportunity for further informal discussions.
