LS Career Event: Finding a Job as an International

Are you curious what kind of jobs are possible after finishing your Master's degree? Join the Life Sciences Career Event webinars!

During the Online Life Sciences Career Events we invite GSLS alumni to talk about their job and the road towards it. Each event has a specific theme, either a field to work in (data scientist, consultancy, non-profits, pharmaceutical industry), or a topic to help you kickstart your career (finding a job as an international, how to prepare a job interview). These events are facilitated by a GSLS career officer, and you are invited to actively ask questions and/or participate in discussions. Please make sure to register for the events for them to count for the Broadening Life Sciences module.

Speaker Kelly Chin

I did the postgraduate Master's programme in Epidemiology at Utrecht University, where I learned all about statistical modelling. Since I was very good at statistics my first job in the Netherlands was working with Wageningen Marine Research as a biostatistician. There I did advance computational statistics and cooperated with different research teams. Before coming to the Netherlands, I worked as a dairy cattle veterinarian in Taiwan, and I was trained to be a vet. I really enjoy helping people or animals. I gain energy from helping out. In my statistical work, that meant helping researchers find clarity in their data by using statistical modelling to turn research questions into evidence-based solutions; in my veterinary work, it meant helping animals return to health. I hope to achieve a career where I can utilise my specialised Dutch education and my clinical background to be a high-impact helper in the life sciences field.
