The seminar format "Career Insights Online" aims at introducing different career paths of marine scientists in the widest sense and offers the possibility to get in touch with former members of the Marine Graduate Schools in Oldenburg, Bremen and Bremerhaven. It focusses on career paths outside of academia and will give insights into job fields in, for example, industry, administration, consulting, non-governmental organisations and journalism.

Speakers are asked to talk about their current position, the interdisciplinary skills they achieved during their doctoral phase, the career steps they took, as well as about work-family-life-balance. After a short presentation, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions to the speaker.

Guest: Dr. Mara Elena Heinrichs 

After her PhD in Marine Geochemistry and Microbiology, Mara started her career as an environmental consultant at the global sustainability consulting firm ERM in Frankfurt. She is involved in a variety of different projects,  particularly the remediation of  contaminated sites, helping private sector clients transition to a more sustainable future.
