All PhD students and postdocs are warmly invited to the annual PhD Careers Panel, organised by the Imperial College Careers Service, is taking place on Wednesday 21st May from 18:00 to 19:30 online (Teams). You can book your place at: PhD Career Panel 2025
Postdocs will need to register with the Careers Service to book. To do this go to https://www.imperial.ac.uk/careers/about/jobslive/ and register as Imperial College staff. If you have any issues with the system, email careers@ic.ac.uk.
At this online panel event we will host 5 STEM PhD graduates (two with postdoc experience) who have now gone to work in different career areas. They will share their experiences of moving from PhD research into their current jobs. You can ask them questions about their career paths – for example what motivated them to pick their current career, what it’s like to do their job, how to succeed in applications and interviews etc. Our speakers include PhD graduates now working in finance, consultancy, patents and R&D. This is a great chance to get inspired about all the different options for your post-PhD career path!
