Finding a non-academic job after graduate school with Dr. Afshan Khaleghi
Finding jobs after graduate school is a huge transition period that isn’t talked about nearly enough. So I’m so grateful that my friend Dr. Afshan Khaleghi was willing to come onto the podcast to talk about her recent experiences - and successes! - in finding a non-academic job after graduate school. We talk about how she navigated how the “real world” views PhDs and how she engineered her way into quickly and easily getting recommended even by strangers for positions.
And! If you feel like you recognize some names in the episode…Dr. Khaleghi worked in FluxLab along with Dr. Nadia Tarakki, who recently appeared in a journal club episode about methane quantification methods from landfills!
