Breakout session
Careers for bioinformatics and systems biology researchers
October 27, 13:45-15:15
Organizers: Harry van Haaften (The Hyve) & Patrick Kemmeren (Princess Máxima Center)
Technological advances in life science and biomedical research have fundamentally transformed these fields into data and model driven research. In addition, many life science oriented companies also include computational approaches in their R&D or provide bioinformatics and other computational biology services. This also has created ample job opportunities for bioinformaticians and systems biologists. But what options are available? What are important differences when working in industry or academia?
During the career breakout session, we will provide you with some insights into what it is like to work in different settings within bioinformatics or systems biology. The session will consist of a number of talks from representatives from industry that have their own computational R&D, service providers providing bioinformatics services, research hospitals and academic research institute such as a university. These representatives will give a presentation about the kind of jobs they have to offer, what career perspectives they have to offer, how people are selected and which skills and knowledge are required.
Speed dates
During the poster session following the breakout session, we will provide attendees the opportunity to have speed dates with the speakers and other representatives from industry and academia with job openings. Duration of the speed dates is 10 minutes. Interested candidates should send their resume two days prior to the conference to an online form. During the speed dates all kinds of questions are possible related to career advice, exploration of possible job opportunities, required skills and knowledge, etc.
