Omar H.: 32 Publications, h-index 5, Moving From Academia to Industry
Omar H.
I have 32 publications, an h-index of 5 and seven years of university research experience. I now want to move into industrial R&D and explain my profile in a way European employers understand.
The situation
Omar has a substantial academic record: 32 publications, an h-index of 5 and seven years of university research. His challenge is translation rather than lack of experience. The support route focuses on industry CVs, skill mapping, employer targeting, project evidence and positioning research achievements as industrial value.
Useful support route
The next step is to organise the existing research assets, timing and career objective into a practical support plan. Depending on the case, this may combine funding strategy, publications, host or employer outreach, industry transition, research entrepreneurship and longer-term career planning.
