CAREER DAY FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS |
Don’t know what to do after graduate school? Come to Career Day on Thursday, March 25thÌýto find out about different career paths you can take. We will have 5 speakers from different fields talk about their work and how they got there, and one professional PhD advisor. The morning will be divided into two segments: the first will focus on teaching and the second will focus on science communications, pharmacology and determining what you want to do/applying for non-academic jobs. You will have time to ask questions after each speaker’s presentation and another opportunity at the end of the event during the general Q&A period.ÌýÌý |
Event will be held on Zoom.Ìý To attend, please contact:Ìýkayla.paulini [at] mail.mcgill.ca (subject: MIGSA%20Annual%20Career%20Day) |
