Career Development

Career development support, be that on an individual basis, through the Career Fund, or on a group basis is vital to both doctoral students and PostDocs. The Education and Careers Officer provides them with individual support and counseling to help them identify their professional goals – within or outside academia – and their positioning in the market with their individual profiles. Exchanges with the stakeholders and alumnae and alumni are promoted. All fellows, whether doctoral students or more senior researchers are encouraged to think early about their professional future orientation – and to build on the skills in which they excel and which are most demanded in the academic and professional markets.

The Education and Careers Officer and Equal Opportunities Officer of the nccr – on the move  informs and supports PostDocs in their applications to the available resources for young parents, when the circumstance applies, or to programs to foster female talents in academia.
