Develop your skills as a researcher
If you have a doctoral degree and are employed at Uppsala University, you are eligible for various forms of career support, courses and seminars. Throughout your research career, you will continuously need to make decisions about your next steps. These can be decisions regarding how to deepen or broaden your skills or how to handle demanding work situations.
Over the course of your career, there may be a need for different kinds of support, including reflective conversations or the development of skills other than the purely scientific. Unless otherwise stated, this support is provided free of charge to you.
