    NPA Smartskills have recurring sessions every 4th Tuesday of the month at 3PM.


    Many postdocs wonder about the pathway into industry without ways to learn the truth about the journey.

    Join leaders from industry as they share their thoughts on the current industry postdoc landscape, discuss misconceptions about postdocs and careers in industry, clarify differences between industry and academic postdocs and positions, offer recommendations to postdocs seeking to enter industry positions, and provide insights on future trends that may affect postdocs in industry.
    This is intended as a collaborative discussion so bring your questions!
