Career Spotlights
After your doctorate, a wide range of career paths are open to you: In addition to preparing for a professorship, university management, business, and politics also offer attractive perspectives. It may not be easy, though, to find the right path for you.The Jenny Aloni Centre for Early Career Researchers supports you in finding your way with the 'Career Spotlights' event series. At the events, you get to know various career paths open to you after your doctorate and to talk to people who have already taken them. What is more, the Career Spotlights are also a great opportunity to exchange ideas and network with other doctoral researchers and postdocs!
