Monday November 25, 2019 11:00 am - 1:00 pm. Followed by a networking reception.
Auditorium, 1111 Genetics-Biotechnology Center, 425 Henry Mall.

Academic skills such as research, publishing, grant-writing, teaching, and mentorship apply to a wide variety of jobs, but graduate and postdoctoral training has traditionally focused only on preparation for faculty positions. This event is designed for scholars who want to explore non-faculty or non-academic employment options, and learn about the process of finding and applying for appropriate positions outside of academia.
 
This informational session will be led by Vanessa Simmering, PhD, Senior Research Scientist at ACTNext, and former UW-Madison Professor of Cognitive and Developmental Psychology. Following her seminar, there will be an interactive networking event with individuals from a wide range of careers who are tackling interesting and important societal problems in their work.
