Exploring Alternative Careers in MCB 295: Life After Grad School!

Although many PhD students in the biological sciences enter graduate school with the clear goal of becoming a principle investigator at an R1 institution, by the time they graduate, their career goals have often changed. To facilitate an exploration of alternative careers, the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) here at UC Berkeley runs a seminar course in the spring called "Life after Grad School." The course brings in speakers from many different institutions who represent different career paths available to newly minted PhDs. MCB has just posted the Spring 2012 speaker schedule and it includes representatives from industry, museums, forensics, and smaller colleges. 


The seminar meets Tuesdays at 6pm in 101 Barker.
