Industry Connections Series
Interested in an industry position, but not quite sure what careers are available? How does one make the transition from an academia to an industry position? The Industry Connections series seeks to answer those questions.
Each workshop will focus on perspectives from a Ph.D. working in industry and how he/she successfully transitioned to a career in industry. The speaker will give a short presentation and then open the topic up for Q & A. This event is limited to 20 postdoctoral scholars and a light lunch will be provided. If you attend, please be willing to participate in the discussion.
