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
This exciting one-day conference is prompted by a growing mutual enthusiasm for interaction between research staff/DPhil students across the University and employers seeking analytical minds and research-related experience.
Our aim is to build understanding of trends in key employment sectors, the skills sought by each, and of the steps involved in transitioning from academia, or into the interface between academia, applied and/or policy work.
We will hear from employees who moved from a DPhil or research position into jobs that make the most of their research training and experience, and have plenty of time to ask questions.
Panel sessions will cover the following broad areas:
Policy
Specialist Consulting
Science R&D, Start-Ups and Biotech
Data Analytics
Research and Impact-related roles
Marketing yourself effectively for freelancing or a portfolio career
Over a Networking lunch, you will meet with employers actively seeking skills gained during a doctorate or early research career.
This event is aimed at late stage DPhil students and research staff.
Places are limited so please book promptly via CareerConnect or phoning reception 01865 274646
