About: With this format the Graduate Academy of the University of Tübingen wants 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. "Let's Talk About Careers" takes place in English via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link with your registration confirmation email.
