Job Market for Young Researchers
Meet PhD and postdoc talent at the interuniversity Job Market for Young Researchers (Flanders Expo Ghent, 25 March 2027)
Looking to attract innovative thinkers and creative problem-solvers to your organisation? Meet hundreds of PhD candidates and postdocs on Thursday 25 March at Flanders Expo Ghent, during the interuniversity Job Market for Young Researchers.
This annual career event brings companies and organisations into direct contact with PhD talent from the five Flemish universities (Ghent University, KU Leuven, VUB, the University of Antwerp and Hasselt University). For more than a decade now, these institutions have joined forces to facilitate the transition of early-career researchers into the non-academic labour market.
Why participate?
- Benefit from a broad range of expertise: tap into the specialist knowledge, analytical skills and experience in tackling complex challenges that researchers from diverse academic disciplines can bring to your organisation.
- Put your organisation on the radar of research talent before the fair: showcase your activities and career opportunities during the free online Career Lunches, held every Tuesday and Thursday from 4 February to 18 March (12 -1 pm).
- Receive a complimentary CV book after the event, featuring an overview of interested candidates.
