The Swedish graduate school in neutron scattering (SwedNess) is, together with LINXS and SNSS, organizing a career day for soon-to-be graduating PhD students and young postdocs. Selecting your future career is not an easy task, and there are many different paths available. For this half-day session, we have invited a list of experienced PhDs working within a diverse field of employment, ranging from academia and institutes, to large-scale facilities, industry, as well as the Swedish government. What they have in common is that they are all connected in different ways to the use of large-scale research facilities and neutrons. The first part of the session is dedicated to short talks by the invited speakers, where their current position as well as their career path will be presented. In addition, the speakers are encouraged to present some useful “tips and tricks”, as well as a few thoughts on how to balance career and private life. The session will end with open online mingling where the participants can ask any questions they might have and have discussions with our invited experts. The session is open to PhD students (and to some extent junior postdocs) from SwedNess as well as the entire Swedish neutron community. Note that participation requires a pre-registration to this event.
We in the organizing committee look forward to an active session with open discussion and successful future careers for all of our participants.
