General
We invite you to the AI&I Career Paths Event on Wednesday 28 October 2026, 15:30–18:00, at Klein Canvas, Volkshotel, followed by drinks and snacks. This will be a small-scale, discussion-focused event on career paths after the PhD, with speakers from academia, industry, government/funding, valorization, and related fields sharing their personal career stories and practical reflections.
Meet our invited speakers
- Marten Hoeksema: Assistant Professor / PI, with international postdoc experience
- Delek Yusuf: Business Developer at IXA, working at the interface of science, innovation, and valorization
- Martijn Nolte: Project Manager at ZonMw, with experience in research funding and project management
- Marta Cossu: Medical Director/Translational Medicine Clinical Lead Immunology at J&J
- Alexandra Terry: Associate Director at Genmab
Unlike a large general career fair, this event is designed to be interactive, network-focused, and tailored to AI&I PhD candidates and postdocs.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions in an informal setting and connect directly with speakers and fellow AI&I researchers.
What to expect?
- Short personal career stories from each speakers
- Honest reflections on career decisions, transitions, and challenges
- Discussion on how PhD/postdoc skills translate into different career paths
- Opportunity to ask you own questions
- Informal networking, drinks and snacks with panoramic view over Amsterdam
Take a break from the lab, share a relaxed afternoon with us, and leave with a clearer view of possible next steps in your career.
