Escape from academia: Is there life after the PhD?

25 May 2025

Wondering what comes after a PhD in neuroscience? You are not alone, and there are more options than you might think.

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.
