Career Development

Pursuing a PhD comes also with the challenge of anticipating a matching career path for oneself. To help with the decision making process, the IMPRS offers courses that contrast different careers (e.g. academia vs. industry), provide application training (CVs, interviews), or teach grant proposal writing. Permiting pandemic alert levels, we are also offering excursions to biotech companies in- and outside Jena. A special offer are "Speed informing" events where current doctoral researcher get to quizz IMPRS alumni on their career path, receive advice and build networks. If you are an IMPRS alumna or alumnus, and would like to be involved in the next event, please write to: imprs@ice.mpg.de.
