ZMNH Alumni Career Session
The next date is Wednesday July 3, 2024. We invited Dr. Simone Hubo (Director Quality & Regulatory Affairs, Indivumed Services GmbH) and Dr. Joanna John (Assistant Director Product & Market Management LifeScience, Sxsmex Europe).
Dear PhD/MD/MSc students and early career postdocs of the UKE and UHH,
Ever asked yourself what comes next after your PhD/MD/MSc or how to achieve your career goals as a young scientist in or outside academia?
That's why we created the ZMNH Alumni Career Session, where former ZMNH employees talk about their career paths. We invite two speakers who will give a short talk and then be available for an extensive networking session to answer your individual questions.
The event will take place from 4 to 6 pm in the large seminar room of the ZMNH, Falkenried 94, ground floor.
We look forward to welcoming you to the ZMNH,
the organizing committee (Sara Hawass, Marcel Klein, Abdurahman Kuku, Jennifer Radwitz, André Vaz Pinto, Anne Willing, Tony Guoming Man)
