Join us to hear from Rutgers alum Tanya Borsuk who will share her vast experience in the field of business development helping grow companies with data sciences platforms. Business development professionals help the pharma and biotech industry stay at the cutting edge of research by deciding which technology is worth acquiring or selling. With a career in business development you will always have your eye on the future of the field. Attendees will gain many insights from Dr. Borsuk’s perspective on how data science platforms will be used for helping discover and create new therapeutics.
Explore ways to unify your slides and tell an effective story in BioRender and in PowerPoint using BioRender’s newly launched integration. Having clear and informative slides can elevate your research to another level and help you communicate with audiences who have different backgrounds, especially during job applications. You can nail your job interview with these tips!
iJOBS Career Panel: Research Jobs in Government Agencies (NIH, FDA, CDC, NJ DOH)
For people who want to stay involved in research but not become faculty in academia, government agencies represent another very attractive alternative to the biopharma industry. We will hear from amazing PhD level scientists who have all had very successful careers doing research at either the NIH, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Disease Control or NJ Department of Health. Get their advice on how to find and make the transition from graduate school or postdoc into these government roles that have a direct impact on human health.

We are happy to announce that Liam McDermott has won a NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship for Stem Education. More details can be found here.
Assistant Dean Janet Alder will present an overview of programs and world class resources available to Rutgers graduate students including an active career exploration and development program called iJOBS.
Current PhD and MD/PhD students will have a panel discussion so you can have your questions answered and learn about programs in:
Ask a room full of scientists, “Who writes slowly?” and almost every hand will go up; we seem to believe in a mythic ‘average’ writer who is somehow able to do easily what we find difficult. This workshop focuses on developing strategies for writing; it aims to dispel many of the misconceptions and practices that prevent writers from working effectively. We consider current best practices for improving your own writing and for working more productively with coauthors at any level. Topics include getting started, giving feedback, responding to comments, and revising effectively.
We will also cover how to Make Sense of the Science. All too often, the textual portions of scientific writing seem to be a data dump of one observation after another. In this workshop, we look at how readers’ expectations for context and emphasis can guide writers toward logical development of the scientific substance.
This hands-on workshop will be led by renowned science writing Judy Swan, PhD, Associate Director for Writing in Science and Engineering at Princeton University.
We are excited to invite current graduate students, postdocs, alumni, industry professionals, and faculty to attend our annual iJOBS symposium. Our keynote speaker, will be Marisa Dolled-Filhart who has held many positions in pharma companies and is currently Global Team Lead at Daiichi Sankyo. We will also have a team of HR professionals, from Regeneron talk about the use of AI in job application and screening processes so you can best plan your job search strategies. You will hear an update of iJOBS activities and outcomes followed by our current Phase 3 trainees sharing about their iJOBS shadowing experiences and coursework. Finally, there will be a networking lunch and an opportunity for industry professionals to share their advice with current trainees.
