The PhD to Industry Job Search series is designed to help graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists navigate the path from research training to rewarding careers in industry. Through a combination of expert-led workshops, practical skill-building, and interactive networking opportunities, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how industry hiring works and practical strategies for how to position themselves for success.
Whether participants are just beginning to explore industry careers or actively pursuing their next opportunity, this series provides actionable tools, industry insights, and meaningful connections to support a successful transition from academia to industry.

Series Learning Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will be better able to:
- Describe how networking, professional visibility, and relationship-building contribute to career opportunities in industry
- Apply practical strategies for developing and maintaining authentic professional relationships that support long-term career goals
- Build and expand a professional network within the biotechnology industry and broader STEM workforce
- Translate academic research experiences and technical expertise into a compelling value proposition for industry employers
While the PhD to Industry Job Search Series is designed to support comprehensive skill development, each session can also be attended as a standalone event. For those seeking to achieve the full learning objectives, we encourage registering for the complete series. Bundled member pricing offers the best value, and nonmembers may wish to explore the cost savings and additional benefits of membership before registering.
If you register for the full series after one or more sessions have already taken place, you will receive access to the recordings for any events you may have missed.
