OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Researchers: are you wondering what your next career move might be? Keen to identify employers and sectors beyond academia that value your research skills and broader experience? Curious to know how other researchers are applying their expertise elsewhere and have navigated the transition?
The 2021 Virtual Careers Conference for Researchers takes place on Wednesday 17th March, 9.00 am – 5.00 pm (exact times TBC) and is open to all Oxford research staff and DPhil students. Registration closes on 10th March.
You will hear PhD-holders and former academic researchers speaking frankly about their daily working lives in a variety of sectors; speak to employers who are actively recruiting research-trained applicants; and gather tips on skills and strategies to help you identify rewarding opportunities and build a flourishing career, whichever pathway you choose to follow.
Our keynote speaker this year is high-profile author and experienced academic researcher Dr Christian Busch, whose work examines how people create career opportunities and move on effectively.
