API+Phys Career Days!
For the first time ever we will have a full two days dedicated to careers, both academic and non-academic. Stay tuned for the full program, which includes the annual "How 2 apply for stuff" lunch talk and discussion, but also talks by several staff, alumni who have chosen nonacademic careers, as well as workshops on CVs (both academic and nonacademic). Although these events are free, we will likely require registration to keep track and for communication about the workshop aspects.
You can download here the program.
