Speaker
Description
There is more to life in academia than the traditional tenure-track career path. Plenty of exciting -and often overlooked- opportunities exist for science PhDs to contribute their expertise and passion within the academic world. In this session I will briefly describe my own career path and those of other scientists with non-traditional academic careers, while emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, effective communication, leadership, and innovation. We will discuss strategies to help participants explore how they can forge a rewarding and impactful academic career that aligns with their interests, strengths, and aspirations. Participants will also learn about networking opportunities, and professional development resources available to them within the IReNA network.
