Would you like help to ease your transition from university to a career outside of academia? Then now is the time to apply for our mentor programme. The deadline is August 15th but the spots are limited and filled continuously.
This June AU Career PhD & JR completed the first 3 career days at different PhD programmes as part of the “early career awareness” for PhD students initiative. Topics included job market information, identification and development of competencies and how to be career conscious PhD students. Remaining career days will take place during fall of 2021 or start of 2022.
Keep an eye out for your local career day, and we look forward to seeing you!
