What is it?
Participants will be sent a link to an online networking platform. This places you inside a virtual room, with each hiring PI seated at their own table. You can join a table to talk with the PI and other trainees there.
This provides the perfect opportunity to introduce yourself, why you are interested in a position in their laboratory, and how you could be a good fit in their team.
You will be free to move to other tables throughout the duration of the event.

Here is what attendees said about the 2022 ISEH Virtual Career Fair:
Meeting a variety of PIs at the ISEH Virtual Career Fair was great. Even better was meeting like-minded researchers who have gone on to become friends. We now run into each other at conferences and have introduced each other to our networks. I'd recommend the ISEH career fair to anyone looking for their next postdoc, or just to network.
-- Chris Mapperley, Queen Mary University of London
The ISEH Virtual Career Fair was an incredibly well organised and easy networking event to attend. It was wonderful to be able to meet researchers from across the globe all in one space without the hassle (and cost!) of international travel. I found it an invaluable event in starting my search for a post-doc position.
-- Elizabeth Lieschke, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Melbourne
How do I get the most out of the Career Fair?
Do your research. Take some time to research the companies that will be participating. This will help you to identify who you are most interested in and to prepare questions that you can ask.
Have your elevator pitch ready. Be prepared to clearly and concise describe why you are interested in a position, and why you’d be a good fit. It’s also an advantage to have an up-to-date CV ready to share.
Be ready to follow up. If you are interested in a postdoc position that you discussed at the fair, take the initiative and contact the PI again to continue the discussion.
