EMBL Career Development

A career development blog for early-career researchers in life sciences

This blog aims to inspire early-career researchers who are exploring different career options and developing their skills. We provide interview-based profiles of life scientists working in diverse science-related careers, as well as articles on a broad range of career and skills development topics, with new content added regularly.


The EMBL Fellows’ Career Service provides career support for predoctoral and postdoctoral fellows across EMBL’s six sites. We also offer openly available information, resources, and events about careers for all life science researchers.

The blog was established to support the work of the EIPOD career development service in providing careers information for EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdocs and the broader community of PhD and postdocs at EMBL and beyond. It is run by the EMBL Fellows’ Career Service, in collaboration with the EMBL International PhD and Postdoc programmes and with support from EMBL’s Alumni relations office.
