ABOUT THE EVENT

Making the leap from academia to industry (and vice versa) often comes down to how well you can translate your experience for the people doing the hiring.

We'll be joined by Eva Quinn, Chief Human Resources Officer at Termeer Institute and HR consultant at Higher EQ HR, for a behind-the-scenes look at how companies actually evaluate candidates: what recruiters and hiring managers look for, how to position an academic background for industry roles, and how to navigate the application, interview, and offer process with confidence.

Whether you're actively applying, quietly considering the move, or just want to understand how these decisions get made, come with your questions.

Expert Hub is a program led by BALSA's Science & Research and Business & Entrepreneurship Communities, bringing experts from diverse research backgrounds to share technical expertise and career-path insights with our community.
