Career insights online
The new 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.
