Careers Beyond Academia: Job Titles & Job Profiles in Life Sciences

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 (Life Sciences Studierendeninitiative e.V.), we connected you with professionals with academic backgrounds in Life Sciences from our HiddenChamps program.

Recap

This time, we started with input on working areas beyond academia and an overview of potential jobs for life scientists in the private sector.

Our guests gave the participants important career advice:

  • Thomas Gerland advocated outlining in your application that you have the skills to fulfill the tasks. If you are passionate about something, find a way to show it.
  • Sabine Zips encouraged “Dare to try!” – you only know if you like the job once you’ve tried it! Her colleague José Maria Pfizer agreed. You have the opportunity to complete a trial day at their company. You can find more information on our HiddenChamp presentation of BOEHMTERT & BOEHMERT.

The webinar took place on Thursday, November 16, 2023.
