What do extreme mountain climbing and an academic career have in common? This and more will be explored in this episode of yPC KarriereRadio, where we’re joined by Maren Podewitz, Professor for Theoretical Chemistry at TU Vienna. After earning her PhD at ETH Zurich and completing a postdoc at UCLA, Maren stepped outside academia to work in an insurance company before ultimately returning to academia as a professor. We’ll discuss her groundbreaking research, her non-linear career path, and the questions HR asked her when she applied for a role as a risk manager. Tune in for an insightful conversation on career growth and personal development!
