Life After Grad School | Moving from an Ultrafast Spectroscopy Lab to an Office Cubicle

Deciding what to do after graduate school can be a daunting task. The number of moving variables involved in making this decision can make the three body problem seem simple by comparison. In my talk I will focus on the process I went through to decide what I wanted to do and how I went about finding and securing a position. I will try to relay the things I found the most helpful and some practical aspects peculiar to working in industry with a Physics PhD. Additionally, I will share some of the experience I have had on the hiring side of the table that may be helpful for candidates to understand.
