Hindsight is 20/20: Taking a retrospective look at entering Alt-Ac spaces

Thu, Nov 18, 2:00 to 3:20pm, Burnham 3, 7th Floor

Abstract

Four practicing researchers share their experiences navigating the world of alternative academic careers. They unpack entering the market, reframing academic skills for a new space, and reflecting on the skills they believe would have made them even more competitive for initial positions within their home agencies. Each speaker grounds the lessons of their experience to their respective agencies, including: a federal agency, a consulting agency, a non-profit agency, and a research firm.
