Career Exploration lunch webinar: From PhD to high school teacher – a career shift into education in Sweden

Curious about transitioning from academia to teaching? Join our 30-minute lunch webinar to hear the inspiring story of a former researcher who made the leap from PhD to the classroom – and eventually into school leadership.
Our guest speaker, Cecilia Eriksson, holds a PhD in neuroscience and entered the teaching profession through the Teach for Sweden program. After teaching at Sjölins gymnasium in Malmö, she now works as an assistant principal at the same school. In this session, Cecilia will share her personal journey, key insights, and what it’s like to bring academic expertise into the Swedish education system.
Note: While the webinar is held in English, please be aware that most teaching positions in Sweden require a certain level of proficiency in Swedish.
