Webinar on Careers in Atmospheric Science

Outside of academia, atmospheric scientists hold a wide variety of careers in the private sector. However, most graduate students and postdocs have limited exposure to scientists who hold these positions. The goal of this webinar is to introduce early career atmospheric scientists to career opportunities in the private sector and explore how the responsibilities and work environments differ from those in academia. This webinar will be held on Thursday, 26 June from 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET.
