NYAS Career Path Series: Science Policy
December 7, 2022 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
- This event has passed.
Careers in science policy exist in a wide variety of settings including government, international, professional associations, academia, industry, lobbying firms, and law firms. Policy influences our lives across various issues and requires evidence-based, strategic communication, community engagement, and support for decision makers.
Science Policy offers graduate & postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to implement their research skills on the policy side. In this webinar, we will learn about how to position yourself to transition into science policy.
