Lecture Contents

In recent years, job hunting for doctoral students has become more advanced, with some industries starting early selection in the spring of D2. For this reason, it is advisable to have gathered information about your desired career path and formed a network by that time. On the other hand, to become an independent researcher as a doctoral student, a huge amount of time is required for research activities. In order to balance these two, it is effective to start working on it little by little and continuously from an early stage, rather than starting to think in a hurry after you reach D2.
In order to take your first step today, come to this seminar to learn about the job-hunting schedule for PhDs, what companies are looking for in PhDs, and what you should acquire during your PhD program.
