EMBL Fellows' Career Service

Career guidance for early career researchers in the life sciences and related fields

The EMBL Fellows’ Career Service provides career support for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows across EMBL’s six sites. We also offer openly available information, resources, and events about careers for all life science researchers.

Through these activities, we help early career researchers to be proactive and make informed decisions about their career planning in academia, industry R&D, and other sectors.

Our public resources and events

The EMBL Fellows’ Career Service organizes regular career webinars covering non-academic and academic career areas and related-topics. Since 2020, we’ve held 30 webinars, with 69 speakers from 19 countries and over 4600 attendees in total.

Our careers webinars are free of charge and open to participants from EMBL and from other institutions. Participants must register to attend.
