The Institute of Physics and SEPnet will run a joint career networking event for physicist students and postdocs. This event will give an insight into the broad range of career paths open to physics graduates including PhD graduates.

This event aims to help, inspire and motivate you to explore the careers options open to you in a welcoming and friendly environment.

The event will begin with a short career and networking activity followed by a panel session where you will hear from physics and PhD graduates from physics-related fields who have gone on to pursue interesting and successful careers in diverse areas, both in and outside academia.

You will then have time to question our panellists in small groups and to network informally with them and other participants over refreshments.

Panellists:

Mark Telling (chair), Senior Research Scientist, STFC & Vice President (membership), IOP
Rosh Sellahewa, Manager, Deloitte
Simon Barnes, Technical Services Manager, University of Surrey
Seth Zenz, Physics Lecturer, Queen Mary University of London
Charlotte Massey, International Development Manager, National Physical Laboratory
Charlotte Lister, Bid Manager, Equiniti
Richard Espley-Jones, Antenna Engineer, Leonardo
Gwenaelle Lefeuvre, New Technology Development Manager, Micron Semiconductor Ltd
Alex Davies, Tritium Engineer, UK Atomic Energy Authority
Linky de Villiers, Financial Crime Innovation Manager, Santander
Michael Hodgson, Business Development Manager, Centronic

What past attendees said about the last career networking event:

It was a fresh and exciting look into my career options, which is something I consider extremely important.

I enjoyed the networking workshop, helped make networking less of an effort and the roundtable session with panellists was great!

Nice to have some time with the panellists on the table. More informative than just talks with Q&A. Very enjoyable.

This event is free to members of the IOP. Non-members pay a £30 registration fee. To join visit: www.iop.org/join. Travel expenses can be reimbursed for SEPnet students by their Employer Engagement Advisers.
