CRBLM career day

It’s never too early (or too late) to start thinking about your career. Whether you already have clear career goals or you are interested in exploring how your hard-earned research skills could be applied in various types of professions, we want to help you succeed on your career path. The CRBLM career day is specifically tailored for graduate students who research brain, language, and music. The program covers the academic job context as well as careers outside of the academic tenure-track path.

The day will include four talks/panels. Students can choose which talks/panels to attend.

Registration will first be open only for CRBLM student members (i.e., students supervised by CRBLM faculty members). From May 15th registration will open to non-members as well if space remains. Please register here or using the form below. ALL TALKS AND PANELS ARE NOW FULL. When registering, you may ask to be added to the waiting list.
