Afin de prendre les meilleures décisions relative à sa carrière, il faut avoir une idée claire de ses points forts, de ses intérêts et de ses motivations. Le questionnaire TRIMA jette un regard systématique sur votre expérience (dans le milieu universitaire et ailleurs) pour vous aider à identifier et à clarifier vos motivations et vos objectifs professionnels, ainsi que les compétences que vous pouvez apporter, où que votre carrière vous mène.
Ce processus renforce la compréhension et la confiance en soi, tout en vous permettant de parler de vous avec plus d'authenticité à des employeurs potentiels.

A quick introduction to the essentials of your career development, whether on the academic path or elsewhere.
A practical look at the development of an academic career, whatever the scientific discipline: from putting together your CV to knowing what to focus on next.

Through discussion and practical work, we review the importance of contribution to the scientific community as much as research expertise, teaching experience and active participation in academic life. Includes the teaching philosophy statement as well as individual feedback on the CV.
Language: the workshop presentations will be provided in English. Participants will have the option of preparing their work in French or English.
Une brève introduction sur les points clefs de votre développement de carrière aussi bien dans l'académique qu'ailleurs.
Research has a long tradition of being shared and developed through papers, meetings, conferences and conversations. Sharing research online is rapidly becoming part of the same process and is no different once you know how it is done.
Whether in an academic or a non-academic research career, when you share on the various platforms you integrate into your daily workflows, you create new possibilities for research, collaborative partnerships and career opportunities.
Building your professional profile for a role beyond academia
In this workshop, participants will explore their experience before, during and after the doctorate in order to build their individual portfolios and create content ready for online profiles, job applications and hiring interviews for roles beyond academia. Our goal is to support your search for opportunities while helping you make the best decisions for your next steps.
After a first meeting in-room (Dorigny), the second session will be held online.
Language: the workshop presentations will be provided in English. Participants will have the option of preparing their work in French or English.
