Early Career Workshop

Address: University of Helsinki, Kumpula Campus, Exactum building (Pietari Kalmin katu 5), Auditorium B123 (Linus Torvalds auditorium)
Date: Monday, 3 June 2019
Time: 15:00-18:00

The idea behind this workshop is to offer career and professional development activities at the EC annual meetings - aimed at increasing awareness of career options inside and outside of academia, and strategies for pursuing them. We also intend to act as point of contacts to any early-career researcher.

During this session we will organize fake interviews for different types of position (standard postdoc position, fellowship, technician/engineering position, and private sector position). A mock panel including a mock candidate will go through a list of 'standardized' questions in front of the audience, highlighting the good and less good points in the answers.
We hope to achieve high participation from early-career scientists (particularly students and postdocs) in our activities.
