AAAS/Science Editor Talk｜144th iCeMS Seminar: Dr. Tianna Hicklin
Planning a successful and rewarding scientific career means
considering all your career options and discovering what is exciting
to you. Though positions in academia are still the most commonly
sought after, Ph.D.-level scientists are increasingly becoming aware
of career opportunities beyond bench research. Learning how your
scientific training fits with career opportunities outside of academia
and developing new skills to fill these positions are important for
creating your individualized career path. In this seminar, we'll
discuss the different types of scientific careers, how to find the best
fit for your personality, identifying what skills you have, and
developing a career plan.
Finding your next position, especially in the current economic climate,
requires creativity and planning. With an increasingly competitive and
global job market, it's important to find innovative ways to job search and
to keep your career options open. Learning about the different sectors
that scientists can work in and expanding your network of contacts
within the areas that interest you are key to finding opportunities that
grow your career. Science Careers is the careers component of Science
that scientists rely on for career information and job postings. Science
Careers offers many free resources for scientists to learn about their
options as well as career development advice. Visit
www.sciencecareers.org for more information. And please join us for this
seminar to learn how to design your personal career path and to discover
innovative ways to plan your job search.
