Brown Bag Lunch & Learn
Dr. Gillen Brown, Astronomy PhD Alumni, Research Staff Member, Institute for Defense Analyses
“How to Use Your Astronomy Ph.D. in the Industry/Commercial Sector”
In this informal discussion, I'll share my experience with the non-academic job search and offer advice to both students and faculty. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion throughout. I'll cover these topics:
- My experience with the non-academic job application process
- My failure to get a job in data science
- How to improve your odds of getting a job in data science
- Career paths other than data science
- What I do in my job now
- What I believe are the most valuable skills astronomers bring to non-academic roles
- My advice on how to plan for the non-academic job search
- My advice for faculty on how to help students prepare for non-academic careers
