The space for the second part (mock interview session) of the event is limited to a total of 36 candidates for four parallel sessions. So, apply for the advertised jobs as soon as possible with your CV. We will try to fit you in your preferred session.
This mini-workshop is part of the HUGS 2018 Summer School in nuclear physics, but open to all interested graduate students and post-docs from the Jefferson Lab community.
The workshop is free (but space is limited and registration is required) and intended to offer a perspective on academic and non-academic careers and includes a hands-on session with practical advice on resume and CV writing.
For questions contact the organizers: Alberto Accardi (accardi@jlab.org), Carlota Andres (carlota.andres.casas@gmail.com), and Narbe Kalantarians (narbe@jlab,org)
