Careers in immunology webinar series

Careers in Immunology.

In spring and summer 2021, the British Society for Immunology undertook a new career development webinar series designed to highlight and promote alternative career paths for immunologists.

Immunologists pursue varied career paths, each following different routes to reach their destinations. Many immunology graduates follow a more traditional route starting with a PhD and postdoc placements and then moving onto independent research as a principal investigator. However, there are many exciting career paths beyond academia. With this series, we aimed to offer insights into different routes you can take using the foundations and transferable skills learnt studying immunology. In these webinars, you can explore how to enter different career pathways, what the day-to-day looks like, the prospects for career development and progression, and more.

Each webinar in the series is delivered by immunology graduates and/or researchers who currently work in that respective area.

This webinar series was free for all BSI members to watch. Recordings of each webinar will also be available for members to view when logged in to the members' area of the website.

This series complements our popular BSI career development webinar series that ran from May to September 2020.
