Course description:

Sponsored by Postdoc Affairs, SciPhD's comprehensive 3-day program makes academic scientists “business-ready” for professional positions, whether in academia, government, industry, or elsewhere. Their experiential “learn by doing” methodology provides hands-on training for students to experience the essential skills valued and required by professional organizations.

Postdoc Affairs is excited to sponsor this program, worth $600, at a highly discounted rate of just $40 per trainee at NYU Langone Health.

This interactive workshop will cover:

• 23 essential skills to distinguish yourself from the competition
• Successful science communication
• Effective teamwork and leadership techniques
• Project management for scientists
• Negotiation for what you’re worth
• Simplifying networking
• Preparing for interviews

BONUS: you will also receive a free subscription to Flamingo, a tailored job search engine and matching service for scientists

Currently, many traditional academic programs emphasize scientific/technical skills with less of a focus on the business and people skills. The SciPhD certificate program raises awareness of these skills and helps trainees improve these skills using hands-on experiences so that they are ready to enter the job force.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

You must attend all days to receive the completion certificate.
