2nd Interuniversity Job Market for Young Researchers
Is your company looking for a suitable candidate to take up a hard-to-fill position? Or, do you prefer to cast a wide net to attract a range of diverse candidates?
Joining the Afstudeerbeurs, you will be in the right place at the right time. This event offers companies a not to be missed opportunity to meet young potentials - from professional BAs to PhDs/ postdoctoral fellows - from the partner institutions of Ghent University Association and beyond in their quest for a first / new job.

The second virtual edition of the interuniversity JOB MARKET FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS bridges the gap between PhDs and postdocs and companies and organisations that wish to capitalize on the added value of the PhD. As the JOB MARKET FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS is organized by UGent, KU Leuven, VUB, UAntwerpen and UHasselt, the entire Flemish talent pool (and beyond) is within reach.
The JOB MARKET FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS will be organised as part of the Afstudeerbeurs, set up by the Ghent University Association, from 29 through to 31 March 2021. Companies and organizations targeting PhDs and postdocs are expected to be available online on 31 March (09:00-18:00).
For the 2021 edition of the fair we will be working together with HOPIN, a digital platform that focuses on quality interaction and networking, two clear needs that we took from the previous edition of the fair.
Participation in the Job Market for Young Researchers amounts to 350 EUR. After the fair you will receive the CVs of those young researchers who have given permission to share their CV. Participants can also submit their CV to you during the online day of 31 March.
You can register here for the interuniversity JOB MARKET FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS and choose the SILVER option.
