Let's Talk About Careers
30.04.2025, 12:00 - 13:00 via Zoom
On April 30th 2025 we are having another talk in our lunch talk format - Let's Talk About Careers - in which we invite Alumni who have left academia to talk about their personal career paths. With this format we want to support doctoral researchers and postdocs of the university in their individual career orientation. Participants can find out about career paths outside of academia and meet scientists who have already taken the next career step and talk about their experiences and decision-making. The lunch talk is set up as a short interview with our guest on their personal career path and decision-making process and afterwards there will be room for questions.
For this talk, we are very happy that Dr. Thomas Schön has agreed to be our guest. Dr. Schön studied engineering at KIT and wrote his PhD in mathematical finance at University of Tübingen. He had worked in the financial industry for several years (Goldman Sachs in London, Allianz Global Investors in Frankfurt) before he founded his own start-up. Nowadays, he’s consulting SMEs on public grants and subsidies as a self-employed consultant.
"Let's Talk About Careers" will take place in English via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom Link with your registration confirmation email.
