Interviews: Industry vs. Academia
Speaker: Garth Fowler, PhD, Outreach Program Coordinator for AAAS/ScienceCareers.org
Finishing up your postdoc or grad school and looking for that next great job? Rewarding careers for scientists exist both in traditional academic research institutions and at the biotechnology company right next door.
But if you think interviews for the two position are the same, think again. Plan to attend Interviewing: Industry vs. Academia, a ScienceCareers presentation on what interviewing committees look for when applying to an academic faculty position versus a corporate biotechnology company.
