Clinical trials – EMBL Fellows' Career Service

EMBL Careers

A life science careers blog for early career researchers

This blog aims to inspire early career researchers exploring different career options. We provide interview-based profiles of life scientists working in diverse science-related careers and articles on a broad range of career-related topics, with new content added on a regular basis.


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.
