So find the process that works for you. So I started in a position at CUNY at K16. Because that’s essentially what we do, we distill information from larger more complex sources to present it in a way that’s manageable. It sounds like a lot of you are saying that it was kind of those things that really got you the job. Similarly if you are a foreign national student, there’s a lot of differences with visa status. And since it was a referral, I think a lot of that initial filtration process that a lot of CV’s and resumes go through, I was able to sort of like hop over it, which was a benefit. You don’t know when it’s going to be filled. And that was a huge learning experience for me, working directly with patients. Much like Saranna I really enjoyed teaching so I normally took advantage of the CUNY system for that as well which was also a more formal process.

So certain fields like postdocs, you start looking for very early which is different then if you’re going to work in administration let’s say which would be a shorter turnaround. An individual's motivation may be inspired by outside forces (extrinsic motivation) or by themselves (intrinsic motivation). I did look for external mentors, not to replace but to add to my network of people and I was able to do that by just looking for people that were in positions that I eventually saw myself in way down the line. And one of my cohort members was part of this team and referred me to the person who would be my boss. I also volunteered in mental health settings because for me when I was working in the lab it was isolating at times. So it was obviously great for her because she was applying for grants that facilitated that relationship in the lab, gave her support for her research but also support for this sort of outreach. I didn’t mention, but when I was in the interview process I also leaned on my network a lot to try and understand what this job really was.

So all in all I would say, figuring out the transferrable skills during grad school and seeing what makes you happy. But I learned that it’s not necessarily a field that I wanted to continue in. Absolutely love it, that’s one of my favorite things. CARLY BATIST, HOST: I’m Carly Batist, a PhD candidate in Biological Anthropology here at the Graduate Center. WEINTRAUB-BREVDA: I think multi-tasking and one of the pieces of advice that my PI gave me was to have projects at different stages. Only you would know that but I would definitely recommend thinking about how to approach. The museum and most places do as well. *laughs* To find a full-time faculty position. But then there were weeks that had lulls because I just didn’t have the mental real estate to do it. And I do a lot of grant writing, which is also something you develop during grad school. BATIST: Could each of you trace the path from the PhD to your current position? If anyone wants to argue for splitting them like it was last year, please state your case now (preferably in General Discussion) since it'll be way harder to … The ones that I currently use are STEM advocacy, program development, curriculum development, program implementation. WEINTRAUB-BREVDA: Yeah, just to add my own experience. So finding things that you care about and enjoy and then finding the things that you care about and enjoy and then doing those things in a way that makes you better at them. I looked everywhere. So that interview process involved a phone interview and then a follow up in-person interview which was followed by another one. Which I found is something that I flourish in specifically when it comes to bringing science to students and people that are not necessarily scientists. Department Chairs Guide; Past CUNY Contracts; RF Field Unit Contracts. So I started analyzing data on things that I had no experience with because I know how to do data analysis from my PhD. And so sometimes it’s fun and challenging to navigate and figure out…it’s like a maze almost. Something that I am not thrilled is…I work at a really enormous institution and it’s different from CUNY but we all know that CUNY has its bureaucracy. I ended up reaching out to some of the other people in my cohort and I let them know that I was on the hunt for a position and I was ready. Very much like you did Rachel, I found my position through an online platform, the RF CUNY job listings. I also wear a couple of other hats.

Helps you prepare job interviews and practice interview skills and techniques. Because there are certain things, certain terminology, certain jargon that are very specific to the positions and if it’s relevant to your experience, absolutely include that exact verbiage. It just feels so nice. I think that helped me really solidify that that was the kind of work that I was interested in doing. BELGRAVE: Sure. I had a phone interview, I had a Skype interview and then I had a four-hour in-person interview where I met with a lot of people. So I get to pull some of that into the way I teach, the way I present information. | So you know, leaning into collaborations and coordinating fieldtrips and all of the things that go into doing a PhD. That was the general style of it. You can sit and think about it but as you move through the world, you talk to people, you go to conferences, you attend classes, you read articles, you listen to the news or current events or podcasts…keep some sort of list and add to it. STRANGAS: And with emotional intelligence the collaborating and navigating complicated co-authorships and collaborations and the teamwork that comes in to all projects. Having it is definitely helpful and sort of gives you a leg-up. For instance, I spent a lot of time in the lab and I love to teach. BATIST: Yeah absolutely. STRANGAS: For me, my advisor was very supportive. Because there are a lot of companies that use these resume screeners and I think that those words, they’re based on the job description. And it kind of got me thinking about other opportunities that I might be interested in. Ask. It’s multi-tasking but also being able to think many, many steps in advance. Because there are some places that actually use computer tech to screen. And similar to Maria, my position, they said it was PhD-preferred. Just a little bit of background. Also emotional intelligence, really, really important. So I’m working with clinician scientists now as well as students and postdocs and also doing some outreach. BATIST: So you all kind of touched on these things a little bit but what kind of translational, transferrable skills that you got through the PhD that are applicable to any kind of outside of academia position? So thinking about juggling lots of things. If it’s possible, work it in early and in small steps maybe of like “I’m thinking about these other things” and kind of building it up. So by the time I finished my program, I was tired of benchwork. So there are just different things that you can emphasize about your career path depending on where you’re applying.

And with those things on the side, some of them I created like through the City College Women in Science group. 212-354-1252 | So that’s how I would frame thinking about what sort of verbiage you’re using. Something that I found useful because when you’re doing a PhD, time is so valuable. So I would say that is another transferrable skill. But one thing I will say now that I work with a lot of grad students and trying to help them figure out their pathway. Currently I’m a STEM Research Manager for K16 Initiatives which is a unit that’s based at CUNY Central Office. Which, even though that wasn’t my research focus, those were the things I had been doing on the side. People love to talk, that’s why we get to come to these panels and if you show the interest, they’ll talk to you if they have the time. And that was when she found out. So what I found was helpful also is the time that you’re actually doing the things that are structured and required of you whether you’re in a class or you’re at a job. It was one where I was attending about non-traditional use of a PhD. You’re trained to critically think about things but you’re also trained to function in a way that…a lot of the times you are the central cog and you need to keep many things going at the same time with feedback from that loop. I also was very regimented in the way I was … BELGRAVE: So I utilized two paths. BATIST: Yes, absolutely. The difference between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation … And so if I’m interested in a certain field, I would start connecting with those people who are in that field because I would want to see when they’re posting something. I love it, still love it, but I needed a break. That was sort of like my first step out of the PhD. For NYU there was a phone interview, and then there was like a half-day or full-day marathon of meeting lots of people and interviewing with lots of different people. CUNY Contract. And that also directly speaks to the outreach that I do because of the populations that I target, which are people that are typically not scientists or they have interest in science. That’s not necessarily something you can hone as you would with data analysis but I think it’s really important. It’s almost strategic planning, it’s not called that but it is really similar to strategic planning. STRANGAS: So as I said, I overlapped, which I was very fortunate and felt very lucky to have that opportunity. The interview process for my position was sort of panel-style. For me, I felt like I needed to do that to stay motivated in my research. Department Chairs Guide; Past CUNY Contracts; RF Field Unit Contracts.

SARANNA BELGRAVE, PANELIST: Hi, my name is Saranna Belgrave. But yeah, so building up some of the research skills and the collaboration skills and understanding the importance of a lot of these technical sides but also finding that I really, really enjoyed that outreach component. | So I am a big, big advocate for pulling on your network.

And at the end of a year I was offered a paid position full-time. What I really liked about the research was coming up with cool new ideas and the autonomy that I had to pursue them and all that. And having stick-to-it-iveness and persistence is absolutely necessary. MARIA STRANGAS, PANELIST: Hi, I’m Maria Strangas and I was a CUNY PhD student based at City College in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology. And at some point I was part of group that started up a Women in Science group at City College and that I felt like matched a lot of my interests. So that student interaction, that student rapport, that relationship you build with them. When I was applying maybe for like teaching positions I would emphasize my teaching history. How did you land where you did and did you initially want to go into academia or not? What does that person actually do? So I would say there was a mix I think of formal and informal opportunities that I tried to take advantage during graduate school to see what other things I might be interested in. I started out as being required to teach for the PhD program which was terrifying at first. So before going into the PhD I had been working as an afterschool teacher for 5th and 6th graders for a couple years and knew that I liked that but wanted to explore other things. And then just recently I switched over to the Center for Cognitive Neurology and I’m working on building the training community here as well. I’ll say that long-term planning…you mentioned multi-tasking. I really tried to search for lots of different things. So I tried to juggle writing my dissertation while also looking for a job because I wanted to work and have a paycheck. So the strategy that Saranna’s talking about having cover letters ready, having CVs ready is a really powerful one. And I liked the research that I was doing and was really enjoying many aspects of that research but also found that there was something that wasn’t satisfied in the research and that I really kept looking for these other paths on the side. People that were directors of programs or directors of research centers and I reached out just like what Maria and Rachel were saying. BELGRAVE: So I started looking when my mentor and I were seeing eye to eye on when I would defend. Those are some of the things I would recommend. So for me, I can say that similar to Maria, a lot of my side projects were what got me this job.
