Inspiration & Advice

Transitioning from academia to another sector can be challenging: Where can I find inspiration and what’s behind certain job titles? How do my skills translate to a job in the business sector? What should I know about application processes?

Professionals with an academic background from our HiddenChamps program helped you to find answers.

Hidden Champs Webinar Job Titles and Profiles in Life Sciences

Job Titles & Job Profiles

Life Sciences are a broad field and finding a job outside of academia can be twice as challenging: What areas of work are there? What should I know about the job titles? Where can I find inspiration?

Together with btS (Die Initiative für Studierende und Promovierende der Life Sciences), we bring you in contact with professionals with an academic background in Life Sciences from our HiddenChamps program.

We introduce you to exciting job profiles and give you an insight into what’s behind the job title. You can exchange and ask your questions about careers and applications focused on Life Sciences.

Our Hidden Champs in Germany
Tracy Wietecha, Deniz Kumral, Leo Kurian, Sabine Becker und Robert Lepenies in schwarz weiß Portrait mit der Aufschrift TBH Conference 2024, Career Real talk for Researchers

*Tbh-Conference 2024

The To be Honest-Conference provides a forum where peers and experts share advice and informal knowledge – the kind that is usually based on watercooler conversations or lucky coincidences.

Our goal is to help researchers envision a clearer path for their academic career, manage expectations about the next steps, and make their voice heard within the research community. While we focus on the German academic system, these insights are valuable for researchers everywhere.

What do I expect? What is expected of me? Requirements and skills
Differences to research at universities/research institutions
