Greetings
fellow grad students and faculty (and anyone else who is
interested),
What
are the odds that you will follow your PI in becoming a
tenured faculty? Yep, less than 25%. Would it make sense to
focus your entire PhD career on that 1 in 4 shot (assuming
those odds don't deteriorate once you get your shot at a
tenured track faculty position)? Of course not. Therefore we
offer your an insight in the various career options there
are for people with a PhD in molecular biology (and related
fields), so you can make an educated plan for your own
future. You can have plans for the day after your finish
your PhD.
Career Options Seminar

de Lartigue

LSA
1022
Jane completed
a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Physiology at the University
of Liverpool in England, where she's from, prior to moving
to California to start a postdoc in the Scholey lab at UC
Davis. After 2 years of postdoctoral research she left the
lab to follow her passion for science writing. She started
up her own freelance scientific writing and editing company,
Jane de Lartigue Science Communications (JLSC,) in January
2011. Over the past year she has cultivated clients in
fields ranging from academia to pharmaceutical companies and
specialist medical magazines. She is also active in the
online scientific communications community via blogging,
Twitter and LinkedIn.
Whatever
you study, this will be a good talk to attend because Jane
will provide insight into how she succeeded in
her career using the sheepskin we are all working for.
Tell
your fellow grad students, techs, postdocs, and PI and
we'll see you on February 14th!
