Careers away from the bench

Posted by Kate on May 4, 2009

Science recently released a booklet about pursuing alternative careers outside of scientific academia:

Increasingly, Ph.D.-level scientists are searching for career opportunities beyond bench research. Not only are scientists interested in pursuing nonresearch-based careers, but the contrast between the number of graduate students and postdocs, and the limited availability of tenure-track faculty positions means that these are no longer “alternative” career options. From technology specialists to patent attorneys to policy advisers, you can learn more about the sorts of careers that scientists can pursue and the skills you will need to develop in order to succeed in nonresearch careers.

Sign up for the booklet here.
