Attend our talks

• Alumni and Researchers @ Jobs for Mathematicians
  15:00 – 16:00
  It isn’t only the financial and academic or teaching world that is hungry for employees with advanced mathematics skills. Increasingly, commercial, government and not-for-profit sector players of all kinds are keen to employ highly numerate, analytical and creative thinkers to understand and predict trends, plan and develop strategy and deliver smarter and more efficient solutions. This session focuses on how to present your skills and experience to employers at the fair and beyond.

• Modelling & Analysis in Business
  15:15 – 16:00
  Data and Data Analytics is one of the most competitive areas for graduate recruiters to secure talent as an ever increasing number of companies look to gain advantage from the data revolution. It’s as much about asking the right questions of the data as it is doing the analysis, and this talk offers a fantastic opportunity to understand the range of opportunities and potential ways to make yourself stand out, whether you are an undergraduate or researcher, and irrespective of your academic background. Join our panel of representatives from companies attending the fair as they talk about their roles, what they enjoy most about their work, how they got started and the current challenges facing them and their teams.

• Careers in Research for Mathematicians
  18:00 – 18:45
  This informal panel session is an opportunity for anyone considering a post-graduate research degree to hear current researchers and academics discussing many aspects of their careers in research and what you might look forward to. As well as examining the experience of D.Phils and early career researchers, there will be insights about the application process, and life and options beyond academia in the public and commercial sectors. There will be time for questions as well.

Keen to make the most of this year’s Science Careers Fair? Unsure how to approach employers?
