Curious about where a STEM PhD can take you outside the traditional academic path? Join us for Beyond the Academy, a career panel and networking event designed to help you explore professional opportunities beyond the tenure track.
You’ll hear from PhD-trained professionals who have built meaningful careers in fields like biotechnology research, development, and manufacturing. Panelists will share how they made the leap from academia, how they translated their skills, and what their day-to-day work looks like now.
After the panel, engage in structured networking where you can connect with the speakers and fellow graduate students to start building relationships that could support your own career transition, and participate in a workshop to learn how to tailor your resume for industry applications. (Light refreshments provided).
Where: Discovery Building, DeLuca Forum Room (330 N Orchard St, Madison, WI 53715)
When: Monday, Feb. 16th, from 9am – 12pm
