Non-Academic Careers for PhDs in the Life Sciences
Course Description:
Only 5% of PhDs in the life sciences will advance to tenured professorships. Thus, thinking of non-academic career options is not plan B, but plan A. Based on a personal background of working in academia (including department chair positions), pharmaceutical industry, venture capital, and consulting Martin Michel will discuss non-academic career paths, what they are, how to get there, and when to switch. Only knowledge of possible options enables smart decisions which option is best for you.
