The ATLAS Early Career Scientist Board , Tomas Herman (Czech Technical University in Prague (CZ)), for the ALICE Junior Representatives, Igor Kostiuk (Nikhef National institute for subatomic physics (NL)), for the LHCb Early Career, Gender and Diversity Office , Patrick Asenov (Nat. Cent. for Sci. Res. Demokritos (GR)), Kathryn Wendy Coldham (Brunel University (GB)), David Benjamin Anthony (University of Bristol (GB)), for the CMS Young Scientists Committee

The Early Career Scientists Fora of the four large LHC experiments have joined forces to organise a cycle of soft skills workshops, where each event will focus on a different career development training aspect (CV writing, grant writing, importance of networking, career paths, negotiations for a new job, interview preparation, etc.).

The fourth of these workshops will take place on March 10, starting at 13:00 CET, and will be dedicated to "Interview skills for academia". We plan to discuss interview skills for postdoc, tenure-track and permanent positions in academia. Given the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the event is going to be online only.

The workshop will start with an introductory presentation, followed by a round table discussion with invited panelists and a Q&A session with open questions from all participants at the end.

The panel will consist of:

• Archana Sharma (CERN)
• Lesya Shchutska (EPFL)
• Lydia Roos (Paris LPNHE)
• Patrick Koppenburg (Nikhef)
• Paul Jackson (U. Adelaide)
• Sahal Yacoob (U. Cape Town)
• Sandra Padula (São Paulo State University)
• Tova Holmes (U. Tennessee)

To participate in this workshop, you need to register via the Indico page here. 

During registration you will have the opportunity to submit questions that you would like to be addressed by our panelists during the round table discussion. Please make use of this opportunity to help us shape the event according to your needs.

The deadline for registration is Friday, March 5.

The zoom meeting password will be emailed to you upon completion of your registration.

The event is open to all members of our collaboration as well as anyone at CERN.
