Online career programmes for early stage researchers and PhD-students

Many junior researchers and doctoral students work at Lund University. The University wants to support these individuals in their career planning, both within academia and if they want to look for work outside academia in the future. Lund University is now seeking online career support programmes: one for postdocs and another for doctoral students. The aim is to give both these target groups relevant and practical tools in order to identify both professional goals and the steps that should be taken to achieve them. Online support is to be in the form of a study programme with clear “learning outcomes”. After completing the programme, participants will be equipped to make well-informed decisions concerning their professional future.

Lund University estimates that a total of 300 postdocs and 800 doctoral students will want to register for the respective programmes during the contract period including the option years.
