Dr. Robert Rauschenberger - Non-academic Careers for Cognitive Scientists
Dr. Rauschenberger will give an informal presentation, including an interactive question and answer period. This meeting is hosted by the Center for Cognitive & Brain Science’s Undergraduate Summer Institute (CUSI: https://cog.osu.edu/programs/ccbs-undergraduate-summer-institute), a program for undergraduate researchers here at OSU. It is comprised of professional training, research talks, and informal discussions. Given the broad interest in this topic, we invite the larger CCBS community to join us. Membership in CCBS is not required, though interested individuals can learn more about joining here: https://cog.osu.edu/membership. About Dr. Rauschenberger: As someone who had started his professional trajectory as an academic cognitive psychologist, I have, over the years, acquired a number of lessons learned and best practices across different areas of employment outside of academia that I would like to impart to other academic psychologists flirting with the idea of transitioning out of academia. Topics covered in my talk include: the non-academic landscape, how to conduct a job search, obstacles one might encounter during one’s pursuit of non-academic jobs, how to tailor one’s resume to specific non-academic jobs, a word about the timing of one’s application, tips on interviewing, and some words about “research” and “publications” outside of academia. I will deliberately keep the formal part of the talk brief, to provide everyone with an opportunity to ask follow-up questions. (Hint: please come armed with questions!) My aim is not to recruit talent away from academia but to provide someone who is exploring the possibility of a career change a (hopefully) unbiased perspective on the true color of the proverbial grass on the “other side,” and to provide guidance on how to get from one side to the other with as few bruises as possible.
