Job opportunities outside academia for early career researchers

Whether you are completing your doctorate, recently graduated, or in a postdoctoral position, the question of what comes next is both pressing and complex. This hands-on workshop gives you the tools to understand, analyse, and strategically approach the job market for PhD holders in natural sciences and engineering — with a particular focus on climate and sustainability-related fields.

Drawing on current data and real-world examples, you will map the landscape of opportunities, identify emerging roles linked to the green and digital transitions, and practise the search strategies that work. By the end of the session, you will leave with a concise guide to efficient job market exploration and a personal roadmap for your next steps.
