REGISTER NOW for the ASU Postdoc Career Conference, set for May 22

It’s time to get the gang together!  We’ve reserved a bunch of rooms in the Tempe Memorial Union to get all of ASU’s postdocs together for one day, to meet one another, to network, and to talk about your future!  Whether you’re headed for the tenure-track, you’re an industry type, or you are one of those crazy startup people, we want to talk about how to get ready for your next big thing. 

We’re bringing in an amazing keynote speaker, Josh Henkin PhD, who will also be available for one-on-one sessions.  We’ll have ASU’s amazing staff and faculty on hand to provide insight and coaching on the faculty search process, and we’ll have folks from entrepreneurship and innovation around to talk about how to launch your big idea through entrepreneurship funding.  We’re aiming to make this an informative and fun-filled day. 

This one-day professional development conference is open to all postdocs, research scientists, and final-year PhD students, and will be held May 22, from 9am until 6pm on Tempe campus.  The purpose of the conference is to reveal and explain hiring processes across all sectors, and to expose postdocs to a wider range of career options. 

The Postdoc Career Conference, sponsored by the ASU Graduate College, will include workshops, speakers, and panel sessions on how postdocs can be successful in making their next career move, whether it be in academia, industry, or in entrepreneurial ventures. 

The conference takes place from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Wednesday, May 22 in the Ventana Ballroom in the Tempe Memorial Union. Details and the registration link can be found at https://graduate.asu.edu/events/postdoc-career-conference.
