The career after finishing the Ph.D. may take many forms including different roles in academia and industry. The aim behind this event is to raise awareness for the prospective graduate students about the opportunities and constraints present in different career paths, knowing the steps needed to be taken and the tentative timelines to apply.  Our panelists are alumni of the University of Houston who have taken roles in both industry as well as academia. They will discuss some of the broader tendencies when it comes to the Ph.D. job market and careers in the university sector while sharing their personal experiences.
