Have you ever wondered what other jobs are like outside of Academia?
(Have you wondered what jobs are like inside of Academia….?)
Join us:
6:30-8:30pm Wednesday Nights
So you can plan your schedule, here is a sneak preview:
Jan 23rd: Andrew Green – Career Counselor for PhD students at UC Berkeley
(did you even know we had one?!?) Come with questions about alternative paths, internships while in graduate school, and additional information.
Veronica Zepeda – Education and Outreach Coordinator for Synthetic and Systems Biology at UCSF
UCB/MCB Alumnus – Ask her how she made the transition from graduate school to academic coordinator.
Jan 30th: Ben Haley – Scientist at Genentech
UCB postdoctoral alumnus - What does all Genentech’s job titles actually mean? How do you become a Scientist at Genentech? What do you do as a Scientist?
Roman Barbalat – Project Manager at Genentech
UCB/MCB Alumus – Some of you may remember Roman... He used to work for ZS Associates. Now he is at Genentech. How did he do it? How do his jobs differ?
Feb 6th: ***SPECIAL - Resume Workshop***
Toby Freedman – Recruiter at Synapsis Search; Author of “Career Opportunities in Biotechnology and Drug Development”
If you have heard Toby speak before, you know she alone is worth attending for. If we were to require a book, it would be hers. She will give an overview of careers and then a workshop on how to structure your resume.
Feb. 13th: Jody Westbrook - Scientist at InVitae (Formerly Locus Development)
UCB MCB Alum of the King Lab. She will be telling us about her exciting transition to biotech startup company. She will also be having other MCB alumni tell about their experiences working at InVitae. It is nice to know that we all stick together even after our Ph.D!
Feb. 20th: Otis Littlefield – Morrison and Foerster Partner
UCB Alumnus and Boalt Alumnus – See why he made the switch to law and how many different options are available to scientists in law (even without getting a J.D.). Did you know you pretty much need a Ph.D. to be a Patent Agent?
More Wednesdays to come!!!
There will be graduate student food (pizza and beverages)!!! But please sign up for the class if you are a student as that determines the amount of food we get.
