Season 2 Episode 1: A PhD’s Guide to Career Paths with Dr. Erik Brady 5 to Life: A PhD and Beyond

    • Science

Graduate school is a tumultuous journey, but it has a defined endpoint. Eventually, we’ll get our degrees and graduate school will be over. What comes after that? As a PhD student, Dr. Erik Brady had many of the same confusions and ended up pursuing a postdoctoral position to satisfy the status quo. We sat down with Dr. Brady to discuss his career path from PI-bound to his departure from the bench, all the way to his current position as director of the graduate school at Wake Forest University. Dr. Brady has had a rollercoaster of a career path, and he offers some valuable insight into what he is doing to protect the students at Wake Forest from following in his footsteps and to prepare them for their future careers. Tune in to hear our plans to amplify this message to our entire listener community!
