Comments on: Pathways – PhD and Research Staff Careers Mega Event http://manchesterpgcareers.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/pathways1/ Career News, Comment, Vacancies and Deadline Alerts for University of Manchester Postgraduates Fri, 18 Dec 2009 19:02:54 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: manchesterpgcareers http://manchesterpgcareers.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/pathways1/#comment-298 manchesterpgcareers Tue, 20 May 2008 16:22:20 +0000 http://manchesterpgcareers.wordpress.com/?p=116#comment-298 Hi Sarah Hopefully, you're in luck - we've got a Principal Clinical Biochemist flying in all the way from Belfast! So, as long as the plane doesn't get diverted, you'll be able to quiz him about his job. So far, we don't have any contacts who have PhDs who are in other NHS management roles, but I'm sure our Clinical Biochemist will be able to tell you what he thinks they do! We're also hoping to get an Audiological Scientist (with a PhD in Physics) so if she can make it, she'll be able to give you another viewpoint on working in the NHS management team. As ever with these events, things are always subject to last minute change, but the contacts are still coming in, so fingers crossed we'll have a useful event for lots of you. Hi Sarah

I am a 2nd year biochemistry PhD student and am curious about the day to day activities for these types of jobs. Thanks!

You're right, Medical Information Officer is an interesting role which you don't often come across. We'll see if we can find someone for this. Hopefully, we've got a few representatives from Med Comms coming, covering a range of roles. Again, we'll see if we can get an account manager, but if we can't, I'm sure some of the others from eg CMG (who are coming) will be able to talk about it. See you at Pathways!

I would find it very useful to speak to a person already undertaking this role. Other roles I would like to find out more about would be account management in a Medical communications agency. thanks Laura I have a PhD in molecular biology and have been looking at careers in the pharmaceutical industry and came across the role of a Medical information officer, which I did not know even existed until that point.

We'll do our best to get these for you. Sustainable energy shouldn't be too hard, but last year we tried hard for nanotechnology and drew a blank. Anyone out there with any contacts, just let me know and we'll be straight on to them. Hope to have a page live in the next day or so publicising the event to potential panel members, so I'll point this out on the blog when it's active. Then we can just direct any potential panellists there for more info. Cheers Elizabeth Thanks Abdulaziz. We’ll do our best to get these for you.

Anyone with such background and extensive industrial experience would be beneficial. Looking forward to hearing from you guys! I would like to hear more about nanotechnology and sustainable energy.

We'll get working on finding someone involved in aircraft design and R&D in future technologies for aircraft and I'll definitely take you up on the contact with Rolls Royce - we can correspond off the blog on that one. Hopefully see you on the 13th/16th June. Cheers Elizabeth Thanks Chris – both of those are really helpful.

I have a strong interest in aerospace design and think it would be very interesting to hear from an aircraft designer or project manager of one of the current projects within the industry. Also anyone involved in research and development of future technologies for aircraft and aircrafts. If you want me to be more specific let me know, and Ill source out some companies in mind. I have also recently visited my mentor at Rolls-Royce where I was able to talk with the Chief Aerothermal - Compressors, so would be glad to either contact him on your behalf, to ask whether he would be interested in speaking at the event. When I spoke to him he seemed very keen on PhD students, so it may be something that he would be interested in. Regards, Chris I am currently studying for a PhD in Aerospace Engineering.
