After her PhD and four years as a postdoc at the Neuroscience Department at KI, Lorenza was simply fed up with the academic world (not with science!). She struggled to find the everyday motivation to carry on her project and make it work out. Thus, Lorenza started looking around for alternatives and job opportunities, and thanks to the KI Career Service she landed an internship in a Medtech company that runs clinical studies. The internship opened her eyes to the fact that former academics can basically do any high qualified industrial job outside the lab. Lorenza really enjoyed her time there, mostly because she had discovered a perspective on a job market that was new to her, and it helped her to acquire the right mindset. Lorenza is currently a Customer Success Manager in an IT company in Uppsala that develops software for building and managing clinical studies. Here Lorenza works on the customer trim line together with medical and clinical professionals helping them to find the best solution for their studies.
