Abstract
Planning a successful and rewarding scientific career means considering all your career options
and discovering what is exciting to you. Though positions in academia are still the most
commonly sought after, Ph.D.-level scientists are increasingly becoming aware of career
opportunities beyond bench research. Learning how your scientific training fits with career
opportunities outside of academia and developing new skills to fill these positions are important
for creating your individualized career path. In this seminar, we'll discuss the different types of
scientific careers, how to find the best fit for your personality, identifying what skills you have,
and developing a career plan.
