EXPANDED CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FOR SCIENCE & ENGINEERING PHDS & POSTDOCS 4:00‐5:30pm, Monday 30th November Golkin Room, Houston Hall In a challenging economy, being able to see how you can apply your hard‐earned academic and research skills both within and outside of academia will maximize your chances of finding a job that matches your career goals. In this panel discussion, hear from the experiences of three Penn Alumni who have put their PhD and Postdoc experience to use outside of the traditional academic career path, and take this opportunity to get some of your questions answered about what opportunities there are for scientists, how to find them, how to decide if you are ready to look beyond academia, and how to sell your skills and experiences to the employers out there. The three panelists will be:
Dr. Ingrid Lund Consultant, Imaging Performance Partnership The Advisory Board Company
Dr. Kristin Field Assistant Director of Programs Penn Genome Frontiers Institute
Dr. Vicki Seyfert‐Margolis Senior Advisor, Science Innovation and Policy Office of the Chief Scientist/Commissioner, Food and Drug Administration PhDs and Postdocs, please join us for this discussion on Monday, 30th November, from 4:00pm‐ 5:30pm in the Golkin Room (Houston Hall).
