“For a Ph.D. holder, the idea that any career can be classified as ‘alternative’ is obsolete.” –Ashrifia Adomako-Ankomah
Ask questions and hear panelists (including Bill Griesar of NW Noggin) discuss a range of career paths for Ph.D. science graduates…
Speakers in this Research Week panel will discuss how to make career transitions from academic research into areas of software engineering, product development, science communication, and other professions. Panelists will answer questions about how they transitioned from academia into outside careers and the skills to focus on to best make this transition.
Research Week, the annual celebration of OHSU research, showcases the work performed by faculty, students, research staff, postdocs and others across the entire university. Everyone at OHSU is welcome — it’s a great time to find out more about our Research Mission and meet the investigators.
