30-Min PhD Career Strategy Call

Not sure what comes after your PhD, or wondering whether academia is really the right path for you?

This is a focused 30-minute 1:1 conversation for PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and early-career scientists who want practical guidance on their career direction.

Based on my experience transitioning from academic research into federal science programs, research program management, grants, and science policy, I can help you think through the opportunities that may fit your background and goals.

We can use the session to discuss topics such as:

1. Career options beyond academia
2. Federal science and research careers
3. Science policy and program management
4. Transitioning from a PhD or postdoc into non-academic roles
5. Fellowships and professional development opportunities
6. How to position your research experience for different career paths
7. Resume/CV and networking strategy
8. Comparing multiple career options or job opportunities
9. Creating a realistic next-step career plan

This is not meant to be a generic career-coaching session. Come with your background, questions, or even just uncertainty about what direction to take, and we’ll use the time to identify concrete options and actionable next steps.

Who is this for?

PhD students, recent graduates, postdocs, and researchers -especially those in STEM, environmental science, climate, Earth science, atmospheric science, or related fields - who want to better understand what opportunities exist beyond the conventional academic pathway.

What you should leave with:

Greater clarity about your options, ideas tailored to your background, and a more concrete sense of what to explore or do next.
