Exploring Diverse Career Paths for PhD Holders
In the fields of bio-life sciences and agriculture, career diversification is advancing to return research outcomes to society. The active roles of PhD holders in companies and startups demonstrate new possibilities for industry-academia collaboration.
This initiative invites senior researchers who chose paths outside academia and are contributing to society by leveraging their research expertise. They will share the realities of their career development. Through diverse role models—including corporate researchers, startup founders, and those transitioning to different industries—we provide a space for young researchers to gain insights for envisioning their own futures.
In collaboration with the Career Path Committee of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan, we explore approaches to career support that bridge research and society.
