A free webinar on how to use artificial intelligence in science job applications is now available to view on demand.

The live event, hosted by Nature’s Careers team in June, investigates AI’s growing role in science recruitment, and how jobseekers can use it responsibly and effectively to draft CVs, cover letters and interview questions.

The hour-long recording also covers how researchers can get their applications noticed by recruiters, who are increasingly using AI tools to shortlist candidates.

Host Julie Gould is joined by Richard Stevenson, a director at life-sciences recruitment consultancy Barrington James in Billericay, UK, and Fernando Spilki, a veterinary virologist at Feevale University in Novo Hamburgo, Brazil.
