The Junior Scientist and Industry annual meeting is a networking event intended for PhD students and postdocs to meet industry, startup and consulting professionals, consider whether an industry career is right for them, and find information and tools to prepare for it.
The JSIam is the place where junior researchers explore possible career paths outside of academia and start building connections ; and it’s where industry and startup professionals can find the talents of tomorrow and keep up with the latest research going on in GIANT labs.
I’m a junior scientist, why should I participate in all the sessions?
The GIANT Junior Ambassadors are working hard on the 15th edition of JSIam. You can expect:
- A general talk on career prospects for doctors outside of public research
- More workshops: sessions of practical (LinkedIn, CV & job search tools, preparing an interview, work and residence permits in France…) or industry specific workshops
- A speed-meeting session with doctors working in industry/startups
- A contest, to facilitate networking with professionals and help you stand out! Follow @giant_grenoble on Instagram to be informed of the contest guidelines (coming soon on this website too).
While the JSIam isn’t a job fair, it is an excellent starting point to enter the right networks… and better start earlier than later: the event is open to all junior scientists!
I’m a professional working in a startup/company/consulting, which sessions are for me?
HR, R&D, innovation, technology, and consulting professionals are most welcome to attend to meet our young researchers! How to take part?
