Are you considering a job in research but not sure yet if a job in research could be something for you or which direction to take? Then this Career College could help you gaining an insight in how a career in research could look like. 

During the Career College, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss topics with panel members, such as: 

  • What is the difference between research within an academic and business environment?
  • Why doing a PhD (or not)?
  • How does a typical workday look like?
  • Which skills are necessary to be a successful researcher?
  • What do they like most (and don't like so much) about their role in research?

Panel members:

  • Marcella van Hoolwerff - Postdoctoral Fellow -LUMC - MSc Life Science and Technology
  • Marcel Haas - Assistant Professor - LUMC - MSc Astrophysics Utrecht, Phd Astrophysics Leiden
  • Jessica de Ruiter - Scientist - TNO - MSc Theoretical Chemistry
     

Join the discussion and ask your questions about the opportunities and challenges, frustrations and success factors of working in research.

This career college is free of charge and available to all Bachelor and Master students and recent graduates of Leiden University. 

The Career College will take place online via Kaltura. A registration link will be added later.
