Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 Misconceptions About Chemistry Career Paths Harris Teaching Workshop-2012 Concepts and Misconceptions in Chemistry

Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 Misconceptions about Chemistry Careers Students cannot conceive of jobs other than working in the lab. Chemist = Bench work Students who excel in chemistry courses do not want to take chemistry as a career because they see limited options Master’s degree = something went wrong in the PhD PhD = “Dr.” title is expensive; highly specialized and focussed

Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 Reality & Suggestions Chemistry is not always bench work  Premier employers in Alberta suggest B.Sc. (Hons) or specialization in Chemistry B.Sc. chemists can supplement their qualifications with other degrees (e.g. law, MBA)  Plenty of alternative & non- traditional careers  Successful technical writers, patent officers

Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 Career Options for Chemists (ACS)

Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 Reality & Suggestions The perception about master’s degree in chemistry is changing  Master’s degree is no longer a consolation prize  Skilled & qualified M.S. chemistry degree holders may be preferred by industries  Scientists in companies can be B.Sc, M.S or PhDs degree holders

Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 PhD in Chemistry Nature, 2011 “The skills one acquires with a Ph.D.— problem solving, troubleshooting, efficiency—can be applicable outside of chemical research” "I see a PhD not just as the mastery of a discipline, but also training of the mind," CE&N, Doctoral dilemma 40% increase in the # of PhDs in last 10 years

Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 Suggestions for PhD Chemists Avoid labelling yourself; transferrable skills matter the most. Networking is very critical in securing jobs Academic jobs: unique and independent thinkers.  Uniqueness: Do not choose to post-doc in exactly same area as your PhD  Independent thinking: Revisiting fundamental ideas.

Harris Teaching Workshop 2012 Role of Professional Societies Canadian scientific societies are recognizing the importance of organizing themselves along the same lines as engineering societies like APEGA ACPA = Association of the Chemical Profession of Alberta Right to title and practice  P.Chem. = Professional chemist  C.I.T = Chemist in training
