6 – 7 October 2022
On October 6 and 7, Janssen Pharmaceutica together with VLIR and the Belgian Universities, organize an interactive career day with an exclusive focus on chemistry. The event will consist of a two-day program where online plenary sessions are combined with in-person poster sessions and a campus tour on the Janssen Pharmaceutical Beerse site.
Grasp this opportunity to learn more about R&D activities at Janssen Pharmaceutica and showcase your research.
Joining this event, you will expand your network, receive first-hand information about careers at Janssen Pharmaceutica, lay the foundations for future academic collaboration, and maybe score a tête-à-tête with a Janssen scientist active within your field of work.
Janssen Pharmaceutica warmly welcomes a diverse pool of talents.
Doctoral candidates (> first year) and postdoctoral researchers from the following domains:
All researchers need to submit a short, 100-word non-confidential project description + graphical abstract. The template to be used is available as download at the bottom of this page. The submitted entries will be reviewed on the following criteria:
All will be offered a virtual pitch training by Janssen Pharmaceutica.
At the Interactive Career Day, 10 posters will be selected, and these candidates will be nominated to provide a short pitch of their work.
From this, 3 pitch winners will be offered a meeting with a Janssen scientist in their field of expertise, creating the opportunity to build your network and receive mentorship.
