A live webinar to help job-seeking scientists land their next role in academia, industry and other sectors is now available to watch as on demand.
Held last month, the one-hour event run by Nature’s careers team attracted more than 600 attendees, many of whom asked questions about hiring and being hired to panellists Eileen Parkes and Andreas Laustsen-Kiel.
Parkes’s team at the University of Oxford, UK, studies inflammatory pathways in cancer, and her experience as a hiring manager includes building a team as the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020.
In addition to having co-founded eight companies, Laustsen-Kiel leads the Center for Antibody Technologies at the Technical University of Denmark in Kongens Lyngby.
The two panellists were joined by Elsie Lauchlan, a director at Thinks Insights & Strategy, a London-based research agency that partnered with Nature’s careers team earlier this year on a global survey of more than 1,000 hiring managers in science.
