To prepare students for life after graduate school, the American Chemical Society (ACS) presents an annual workshop in the chemistry building called Kick-Starter to help graduate students understand how skills, values and opportunities intersect to create a satisfying career path. The department’s student organization also sponsors seminars and workshops throughout the academic year to prepare the graduate students for the next step.
UW-Madison subscribes to an on-line recruiting system called Handshake that advertises full-time positions and internships. In the fall and spring, companies come to campus for the annual career fairs. Graduate students completing the Ph.D. in chemistry work in industry, as researchers in academia, as faculty and instructional staff at colleges and universities, and in a wide variety of other career paths that make use of their research and professional skills.
