Are you a PhD student or postdoc interested in learning more about industry career options, both bench and non-bench?
Attend
2 Zoom panel discussion and networking events hosted by the MSKCC
Office of Career and Professional Development, STEMPeers, and INet NYC,
as part of our 3rd annual event on launching an industry career!
You will meet 12 senior and junior industry professionals working in a variety of roles in large pharma companies, who are based in the Northeast, West Coast, as well as other locations across the country and abroad.
You will hear from scientists and other professionals (many of whom are international researchers who did their PhD or postdoc in the Northeast) whose jobs are connected to the process of drug discovery and development from different perspectives in both bench and non-bench positions.
On March 9, 5:00-6:30pm EST, you will meet with 6 scientists working in various types of therapeutic development (small molecule, cell, gene), medicinal chemistry, AI and data science.
On March 15, 5:00-6:30pm EST, you will meet with 6 industry professionals who have transitioned into various non-bench roles, including clinical research, business development, medical science liaison and medical affairs, medical communications, and regulatory/QC.
The goal of the event is to
create a discussion platform regarding how one can use their PhD and
postdoc training to launch a career in industry and the variety of
R&D and non-bench career options. This event will help to build a
bridge between the biotech and pharma ecosystem and graduate students,
postdocs, and fellow scientists.
This event is hosted by the MSKCC Office of Career and Professional Development in partnership with INet-NYC and STEMPeers, volunteer-run organizations whose mission is to provide career development and networking opportunities for all international students and postdoctoral fellows in STEM fields who study/work in NYC.
Graduate students and postdocs at MSK, Rockefeller, Weill Cornell, and other NYC institutions affiliated with INet NYC, as well as PhDs and postdocs affiliated with STEMPeers may register for the event.
