If you are a PhD student/postdoc in polymer, soft matter or colloid science and want to hear about job options other than following the steps of your supervisor at University, please come and join us for this one-day event on the 29th October 2014 (Rutherford Lab, Didcot, near Oxford).
The event is organised by the Polymer Physics Group (IOP/RSC) and will feature speakers from a range of professions: not only industrialists (in personal care products, agrochemical, paints, etc) but also people in less obvious ‘polymer’ jobs: publishers, patent attorneys, policy-makers, science journalists, funding agencies etc.
Speakers will come and share tips and personal experience on their own career path and day-to-day activities in a relaxed format, which we hope will foster discussion and exchange.
Registration fee is £15 for the day and free accommodation in the area will be offered on a first-come first-served basis (giving priority to more distant students).
Further information can be found on the SFTC website.
