Establishing career goals, navigating challenging conversations associated with those goals and working outside the laboratory to successfully advance your career can be challenging for scientists at all career stages. In addition, these conversations can be particularly difficult for international scientists, whose cultural norms may be different than those commonly found in the U.S. Participants will develop their own goals, draft plans for achieving them and practice navigating conversations they may encounter while advocating for those goals. The ultimate goal of this workshop is to encourage, support and empower scientists to take charge of their careers.
Who should attend: This workshop primarily will be of interest to undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, but scientists at career stages are welcome.
