Are you wondering what comes after your PostDoc? Curious about how others navigated the academic job market, secured their next position, or managed the challenges of the first years after graduation?
The Graduate Campus invites all postdoctoral researchers at UniNE to join an interactive panel discussion for all early-career researchers at UniNE, focusing on how to navigate the academic job market and the transitions that follow a PhD.
Panelists
The panelists will share insights from their own professional journeys, including their experiences of searching for their next career move and navigating post-PhD transitions. The panelists will also discuss common challenges during the first years after the PhD and how they approached them.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers during an open Q&A session.
Target audience
The panel discussion is open to all postdoctoral researchers at the University of Neuchâtel (PhDs are also welcome).
Panel dicussion language
English (but questions are welcome in French)

The panel discussion follows "On Neutral Grounds", a cross-university initiative dedicated to discussing and advancing working papers in management disciplines, including Strategy, Entrepreneurship, and Organizational Behavior.
This half-day workshop brings together early-stage researchers from Swiss universities for paper presentations and collaborative discussions. Participation in the workshop is limited to invited participants and registered presenters.

The subsequent panel discussion, however, is open to all UniNE postdoctoral researchers and offers an excellent opportunity to learn from researchers who have recently navigated the transition from doctoral studies to the next stages of their careers.
