The goal of postdoctoral research at Karolinska Institutet is to provide a unique chance for the postdoc to gain independence and abilities while receiving advanced training and supervisory guidance. Both academics seeking a future in academia and those interested in learning about professional alternatives outside of our university can benefit from career development services offered by KI future Service. KI Career Service offers assistance with a wide range of career-related subjects, including grant writing, networking, interview and CV training, career planning, and much more. Their top career tip is to work hard and passionately on your research projects, yet most academics are aware of the adage "publish or perish," and there is fierce competition.
