The Virtual Job Summit will enable employers to recruit seasoned postgraduate life scientists from the top 15 percent of U.S. training institutions. Employers will be able to upload brochures, white papers, videos and webinar recordings to their virtual booths. Jobseekers will be able to browse among employers, download information and return during the two-day live event on October 5 and 6 to speak with employers via video chat.
“For employers, this will be the most efficient, cost-effective way to recruit top-level, work-experienced, postgraduate life scientists,” said President Nick Folger. “For jobseekers, it’s an opportunity to research and meet employers that are geographically distant.”
