Career Development Workshop: Preparing Scientists for Industry Careers

Join Life Science Washington Institute for a free “Learn By Doing” workshop presented by SciPhD on October 6, 10, 12, and 16, 2023 from 12:00 – 4:00 PM.

With an increasing number of available jobs shifting from academia to industry settings, understanding the skills necessary to compete for and succeed in an industry position is critical. This four-part workshop will provide you with interactive experiences and guidance as you prepare to move beyond academia and pursue your career, and an opportunity to network with local industry! SciPhD will facilitate the workshop.

Who should attend? This workshop series is for graduate students, doctoral candidates and post-docs looking for professional guidance as they pursue their careers. Participants may still be enrolled in their professional programs or recent graduates.

Date and Format: The entire virtual workshop will take place over the course of four half-day sessions over 3 weeks, OCTOBER 6, 10, 12, and 16. This includes several virtual networking opportunities with representatives from sponsor companies throughout the program. Students are expected to attend the majority of sessions. If your schedule conflicts with the workshop schedule, please notify Srikant Iyer, PhD, srikant@lifesciencewa.org, for arrangements to be made.
