 HLO education manager at Hogeschool Leiden
During my PhD and post-doct period I supervised many students from both University and Technical University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool) which I really enjoyed. In 2003 I applied for a position as a teacher medical biology at the Hogeschool Leiden. Teaching people who are really interested in the subject is very rewarding and you're trying to educate the technicians of the future. After a while some management tasks were given to me and this led to a shift from being a teacher to becoming a manager. Since 2009 my main part of the job is management, but I still have approximately ten percent of teaching activities.

During her PhD in molecular microbiology, Freya Senf realised that being in the lab day in day out was not her cup of tea. She therefore orientated herself on a career outside science and signed up for a career development course. This was helpful and made her realise what she sought in a job. After obtaining her PhD, she worked at Hezelburcht BioTop BV as a grant consultant for Life Science research. She assisted both academic scientists and companies in obtaining grants, and managed support offices for grant management. After a year she realised that she preferred a job that was less focused on profit but more on applied science and technology transfer.
