      I did an undergradution (Licence) in Volcanology for 3 years, then I did a Master’s degree in geology and mining for 2 years, I am actually finishing my PhD in geo-chemistry (it took 4 years). After that I will be able to apply for being a professor.

      You can pick any path you like, with academia and industry. I have been in both.

      4 years Electronics and Communication Engineering (academia)
      + 2 years Laptop Service Engineer (industry)
      + 2 years Masters degree in Photonics (academia)
      + 5 years PhD in Interdisciplinary Optics and Laser Engineering (academic) -> Became a scientist
      + 3 years Engineer at High Power Laser Facility (industry)
      + 6 months Post-Doctoral Researcher (academia)

      I am currently in the middle trajectory of my PhD, and I would like to work as post-doctoral researcher afterwards, which are both considered early career researchers.

      I did an undergraduate in nutrition and health science for 4 years and I’m doing a PhD in microbiology at the moment and I’m 2 years into it and have 2 years left.

      I did an undergrad degree in physics, my postgrad in biophysics, a PhD in neuroscience, worked for nearly ten years as a postdoctoral researcher in different fields before getting the opportunity to set up my own lab. Since last year, I am a permanent lecturer and researcher at RCSI in Dublin.

      My undergraduate degree was biotechnology. During my degree I was able to complete an internship in the research department and really enjoyed it. That’s where I met my supervisor, who’s called a principal investigator. We created a project together then that became my PhD đŸ™‚ Soon, I will be moving on to my post-doctoral research which is where I will really lay the groundwork for the rest of my future.
