Lunch & Learn program at CSAIL

[Kathrin Graetz]

Dear MIT Postdocs,

The Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory created a great opportunity for postdocs and PhD students to take a look at the world outside of academia: Lunch & Learn seminars! Please have a look at the information below.

The next Lunch & Learn will take place on Wednesday, April 27, 2016 at 1pm. It will feature the CEO and head of data analytics and machine learning of Jobcase, both MIT alums.
Please register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cap-lunch-learn-with-jobcase-tickets-24848935836. Space is limited to 25 and lunch will be provided.

The CSAIL Lunch & Learn (L&L) is an informal lunchtime event planned for a group of about 15-20 Ph.D. students and postdocs who are thinking about a career in industry. It is hosted by CSAIL Alliances and one of CSAIL’s 60 partner companies inviting a corporate executive, usually senior, to present a short technical talk, explain how research in industry compares to that in academia and give a candid description of their career path. The audience is restricted to post-docs and Ph.D. students exclusively and is designed to be cordial, informal and intimate, in order to provoke useful and frank discussion about working in industry.

Many post-docs and Ph.D. students have minimal industry experience even by the time they finish their training. Lunch & Learn events provide an opportunity for them to hear about relevant research going on in industry, as well as learn from a technical executive who shares career advise, often reflecting from personal experiences. The speakers are encouraged to share honest perspectives, and not do any recruitment “pitching”.

Best regards and have a great weekend!
Kathrin
