Skill development

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
À mi-parcours de ma thèse dans la recherche publique, j'ai pris conscience de mon désir de quitter ce domaine. J'ai donc suivi des formations et assisté à des forums, qui m'ont permis de découvrir les métiers de l'industrie, du conseil et de la gestion de projets ainsi que d'apprendre à valoriser mes compétences dans le cadre de ma recherche d'emploi. Par ailleurs, j'ai acquis une solide expérience du travail en équipe à travers des réunions régulières en interne (équipe et unité de recherche) ainsi que des échanges avec nos collaborateurs internationaux, notamment au sein du Jefferis Group, Division of Neurobiology, MRC LMB à Cambridge, UK.

Leadership

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
J'ai collaboré étroitement avec des doctorants pour organiser un forum scientifique, en répartissant les tâches selon les compétences de chacun et en maintenant la motivation et la bonne humeur. J'ai développé mes compétences en communication en présentant mes recherches lors de congrès nationaux et internationaux, sous forme de posters et de présentations orales, et en rédigeant plusieurs revues scientifiques.
