OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Moving Beyond Academia: Where to Find New Career Options
Have you decided that an academic career is not for you? It is easy to get stuck after coming to this realisation and wonder what to do next.
During the session we will look at tools and strategies for identifying attractive roles and understanding what a job really entails, whilst also considering the importance of knowing your own skill set and preferred parameters and using that knowledge to shape your job search.
Workshop objectives:
Identify appropriate tools to clarify your personal work preferences and skills
Discover resources and strategies for investigating career options in a structured way
Observe tools for gathering evidence of careers paths for transitions from academia
The 2026 conference booklet will be available closer to the event.
