ISSCR Annual Meeting Job Board

Included with your annual meeting registration, all attendees are invited to browse and post open positions in your lab or company. The open positions, like our attendees, are diverse in field, experience, and geography, and represent academia and industry.

Post open positions. Starting in mid-June, post your open job position(s). Interested attendees will reach out to you using the contact information you specify.

Look for your next job. Starting in mid-June, explore the open positions posted by ISSCR 2024 attendees. Filter open positions by field, area, job title, geography and more. Reach out to the employers that most interest you. You can also take advantage of the time together during the Annual Meeting to connect using the meeting platform or in person in Hamburg.
