 Alternate Careers in Science
Preparing Ph.D. Students for a Wide Array of
Careers in Science
This seminar series is open to all graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows.
The University of Maryland, Baltimore has always been at
the forefront of preparing graduate students for careers in
science that extend beyond the traditional "path of
academia". The Graduate Program in Life Sciences continues
this tradition with new initiatives to ensure that our
graduate students are highly prepared for and knowledgeable
about their post-graduate career opportunities. A new
seminar series, Alternative Careers in Science, will be
launched in Spring 2007. Attendance is open to all UMB
graduate students and post-docs. The list of speakers will
be diverse in the types of careers represented. These will
include biotechnology firms, pharmaceutical industries,
scientific patent, legal council and more.
Frank Margolis, Ph.D., Director of Graduate Education,
Program in Neuroscience is serving as the chair of this
seminar committee.
Dr. Margolis has a unique level of experience with
research careers inside and outside of academia and our
students are fortunate to benefit from his willingness to
share his views and expand their horizons.
In addition to the seminar series, GPILS is exploring
ways to offer on-site visits to various scientific
industries for its graduate students.
