PhD and Researcher Career Zone
10:30am - 4:00pm, Wednesday 17th June 2009
The Armitage Centre, Fallowfield, Manchester
This year, for the first time, the Graduate Recruitment Fair, in partnership with the Vitae North West Hub, will feature a separate area dedicated to PhDs and researchers across the North West.
This will include:
- Your chance to speak directly to a selection of employers of PhDs and researchers, to hear:
- how they view PhDs and researchers.
- examples of some of the kinds of jobs carried out by PhDs and researchers outside academia.
- the skills which PhDs and researchers can offer to the workplace.
- any current or potential future demand for PhDs and researchers in their organisation.
- Careers advice and information from careers consultants with specialist knowledge of the PhD and researcher employment market.
- Advice on how to make yourself more attractive to potential employers and some of the opportunities to put this into practice.
Not all employers represented in the PhD and Researcher Career Zone have immediate vacancies for PhDs - but all will be there because they are keen to talk to you and help you with taking the next step in your career.
Employers currently expected to attend include:
- AMEC Group Ltd
- AREVA T&D
- BG Group
- Cabinet Office
- Doosan Babcock
- National Nuclear Laboratory
- National Physical Laboratory
- Tessella
In addition, many of the recruiters in the main hall of the Graduate Recruitment Fair welcome applications from PhDs and researchers. Check out the other employers attending the Fair on Wednesday 17 June.
Important Notes:
The main fair runs on two days, Wednesday 17th June and Thursday 18th June, and there are different employers attending on each day.
However, the PhD and Researcher Career Zone will only run on Wednesday 17th June.
All the employers mentioned have confirmed that they will attend the event. However, employers plans sometimes change - unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that there will be no last minute changes.
