Scientific careers are becoming increasingly shaped by global opportunities, evolving funding landscapes, and immigration considerations.
The Global STEM Career Pathways series is designed to help graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists navigate these interconnected factors while exploring long-term career options both within and beyond the United States. Through practical frameworks, diverse international perspectives, and strategic planning tools, participants will gain a broader understanding of how career, funding, and immigration decisions influence professional mobility and success.
The two programs in this series equip attendees with the knowledge and planning strategies needed to evaluate opportunities across borders, make informed career decisions, and build resilient, globally minded STEM careers in an increasingly interconnected research landscape.
Join live when you can, watch later when you need to. The best experience happens live, with opportunities to ask questions and engage with instructors in real time. If a date in the series does not work for your schedule, your registration includes one year of access to the recording in the Academy’s on-demand library.
