DESCRIPTION:Dear Postdocs\, \nMany of us at some point during our scienti
 fic career will have to face the essential questions\, “what is next in 
 my career?”\, “what steps do I need to take?” and more importantly\,
  “am I ready to face the challenges of making the transition from academ
 ia to industry?”\nAs an integral part of our mission at the SV Postdoc A
 ssociation\, we are organizing a series of professional development events
  that will specifically address the above topics via a focus on job skills
  and tools\, market knowledge and meaningful access to the industry. We ha
 ve invited experts who will assist us in understanding how to ameliorate c
 rucial shortcomings that one needs to rectify before and during the job se
 arch. In addition\, we have invited scientists who moved into industry to 
 provide information on what the job market is looking for\, how to positio
 n yourself\, and to clarify efficient ways of tailoring your experience fo
 r non-academic job applications.\n\nThis Career Series will be held in sev
 eral days. The first day will serve as an introduction to the Series\, f
 ocusing on general aspects of the Swiss job market for highly skilled cand
 idates\, and providing us specific tools needed to prepare us to the job s
 earch. As the first talk in the second day of the series\, we will have 
 a presentation from Dr Carine Delattre\, a Senior Pricing and Market Acces
 s Consultant from the Lattice Point Consulting group\, which will talk abo
 ut the career options for postdocs in the consulting area. Next\, we will 
 have a series of presentations from EPFL alumni\, who will share with us t
 heir experience during their transition from academia to industry. In both
  days\, we will have apéros to provide an excellent opportunity to networ
 k with the presenters\, and a number of postdoc alumni with valuable exper
 ience in academia-to-industry transition.\n\nDates & venue: November 9th
