This workshop series organised by INCF, NeurotechEU, and StratNeuro will explore
alternative careers outside of academia in which neuroscience skills, big data
analysis as well as other skills, would be advantageous. The panelists will provide
perspectives from individuals who have enjoyed diverse careers, including founding
a software company, working for the government examining patent applications,
marketing research with a neural twist, working in a non-profit coordinating data and
research efforts, and working in funding agencies. The panelists will share how they
got there and advise attendees on how to follow in their footsteps.
In the second workshop of the series, Is there life after the PhD? Career
opportunities for neuroscientists and neuroinformaticians in the private sector
and industry, neuroscientists and neuroinformaticians who have transitioned from
academia to industry will share their career journies and provide participants with input in how they can follow in their footsteps.
