MPP Career Day

Friday 20 Apr 2018, 08:50 → 21:00 Europe/Berlin

Auditorium (MPI Meeting rooms)

Andreas Hönle (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik), Daniel Kläwer (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik), Henning Bahl (Max Planck for Physics), Kazuma Ishio (Max-Planck-Institute for Physics), Philipp Gadow (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik), Philipp Leitl (Max Planck for Physics)

The Career Day is meant to bring together young researchers, interested in transitioning from academia to e.g. industry, finance or consulting, and companies looking for doctoral researchers well-versed in working methodically and solving multi-layered problems.

It will take place on Friday, 20th April 2018 at the Max Planck Institute for Physics, Munich (MPP). It is organised by the MPP's PhD representatives.

The speakers will present their current job and employer as well as impressions from their transitioning phase in a 30 minute presentation (including questions). Most of the speakers have a scientific background similar to or even in physics. In total, 12 enterprises covering a wide field of applications are participating.                                              

Apart from the talks, a seminar room and the foyer are dedicated to put up stands where the companies can present themselves using e.g. posters and brochures allowing you to engage in discussions with the speakers and further company members all throughout the day.

We thank Munich Re, Bain, Commerzbank, G-Research, Reply, Actindo, ZEISS, QAware, and NVIDIA for their generous sponsoring.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the Career Day.
