Jobs Outside Academia

WhenFriday 2 October 2026
Who can comeStudents & postdocs

Undergraduate, master’s and PhD students, and postdocs.

Abstract

I defended my PhD in astrophysics at KTH in 2021. Afterwards, I did two years as a Data Scientist at Handelsbanken, resigned to try some startups that failed, and accidentally ended up day trading instead.

I will introduce myself, talk a little bit about my research and things I’ve done since, thoughts about transitioning out of academia, and then I’ll open up for questions/discussion. The idea is for this format to be more informal and interactive. (So ideally, it should not just be me talking :)
