Academic mobility
22. 11. 2023 from 10:30, Masaryk University Brno
What is so great about a postdoctoral stay, and what would probably annoy you? What is it like to move with your family, and what should you focus on when choosing a future research group? Join us and find out about academic mobility after PhD.
The workshop is organized in cooperation with Masaryk University in Brno and is a part of Career days.
Registration
The event is open to mainly MUNI students. We believe it will be most beneficial for PhD students, however even motivated undergraduate students may benefit from attending.
This workshop is co-organized within the MUNI Career Days with the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
If you are not a MUNI student and you would like to attend, send an email to anna.altova[at]czexpats.org.
