Brief description
The MICCAI Student Career Event, organized by the MICCAI Student
Board, is the opportunity for all students to have answers to their
most pressing questions related to a career in academia or industry.
Leaders in the field as well as young professionals sit at different
tables through which students can circulate to come and ask them
questions. The Student Career Event is also a fantastic opportunity to
network with people from the medical imaging community in a friendly
atmosphere.
Noyori Conference Hall
MICCAI Student Career Event
The goal of the event is to give students the opportunity to ask questions about their
career. Questions can be about anything from what companies and labs look for
when hiring or how to plan a research career, to questions about what you think will
be the next important topic in medical imaging and computer-assisted interventions.
The event will begin with a plenary to welcome the students and a keynote. The
group will be then split up for speed dating. There will be tables for about six to eight
students, a junior professional and a senior professional. During the event, students
will switch tables three times, so they will meet different professionals (from both
academia and industry). Each table session will last for about 15 minutes.
The junior professional should be someone who recently made the jump from PhD
student to staff, so that the students can relate to them and hear a recent success
story. The senior professional will be someone established in the field that can talk to
the students about their extensive experience. We would like each senior
professional to invite a junior professional of his/her choice.
This year, the event will take place in the Noyori Conference Hall on
September 22, from 17:15 to 18:45 according to the following schedule.
