Our first Invitations to Industry talk will be this Friday, September 20 from 4-5 in Room 1068 East Hall.
This exciting seminar series is directed at PhD students and post-docs in math and physics. Recent Michigan alums return to tell us about the jobs they love in industry and some of the opportunities that await you when you finish your PhD. The speaker this week is Brandon Carter, UM PhD Mathematics 2018, currently at Google.
Please note the room change from earlier announcements. This is due to the overwhelming response to our RSVP request. It’s not too late! RSVP here if you haven’t already!
Brandon’s talk will be followed by some food and socializing 5-6, also in Room 1068.

1. The Erdos Institute’s PhD Career Development mission,
2. The Invitations to Industry seminars,
3. The Data Science boot camps,
4. Erdös’s exclusive LinkedIn job board
5. The participating universities/departments,
6. The Erdös Institute’s new placement service for Math PhDs looking for industry jobs or internships.
Roman has generously also offered to make himself available to our PhD students, alumni and post-docs on an individualized basis as well. Connect with him through e-mail (connect@erdosinstitute.org) or through LinkedIn.
