We invite you to attend a workshop that brings together graduate faculty from across the University of Nebraska to discuss “Career Advice for the Strategic Scientist.”
With more Ph.D. graduates in the U.S. than jobs available in academia, many graduate students and postdoctoral associates will need to consider alternative careers. Faculty can encourage students to identify, develop, and articulate the transferability of key skills throughout their academic study and find their place in today’s job market.
Fresh hope about your own surprisingly diverse career prospects
Hands-on workshop on identifying your transferable skills and describing them in language employers will understand
This year’s workshop will feature Dr. Isaiah Hankel, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cheeky Scientist. Cheeky Scientist and the Cheeky Scientist Association is a private network of over 4,000 PhDs from over 32 different countries who are in non-academic careers or who are seeking non-academic careers.
