Abstract:
The science of toxicology is host to a wide range of careers in industry;
however, many toxicologists— especially those just completing their graduate or
postdoctoral training—find it challenging to get their foot in the door in
industry. Just in time for the upcoming SOT Annual Meeting, this interactive
webinar will include short presentations by Dr. Lorrene Buckley (Senior
Research Fellow Toxicology & Drug Disposition, Eli Lilly & Company), Dr. Daland
Juberg (Global Leader Human Health Assessment, Dow AgroSciences), and Dr.
Kathryn Page (Product Safety Toxicologist, Clorox Company) on their experiences
and advice about the “dos and don’ts” of Transitioning into Industry. As senior
managers, Drs. Juberg and Buckley will provide insight on key aspects of CVs,
cover letters, elevator speeches, and interviews that they look for when
hiring. As a successful early career toxicologist, Dr. Page will discuss the
strategies that helped her transition from an academic postdoc to her first
industry job. Panelists also will tell you more about what type of beyond the
bench skills are sought within the different industries and concrete approaches
you may take to strengthen your profile. These short presentations will be
followed by a discussion session where these experts will answer attendee
questions to provide a more in-depth view that will help you strengthen your
profile and succeed in finding your first, or next, job in industry.
