Career Exploration and Planning

Thinking about and planning for life beyond graduate school is one of the most anxiety-provoking activities students face. In this course, students will share their personal stories and dilemmas about career decisions, discuss various career options with a PhD in life sciences, and learn to design their own path. There will be three career panels with invited guests from various career tracks, including research, teaching, administration, industry, startup, investment, law, journalism, policy, and more. Open to Biology PhD students in year 3 or beyond. The class will meet at Carnegie Institution for Science's conference room building 600, located at 260 Panama St, Stanford, CA 94305.
