Why Host?

Professional development is the missing piece

The purpose of ACS on Campus is to provide graduate students, post-docs, and non-tenured researchers and faculty with the necessary skills to thrive in today’s job market. Sessions focus on:

• Determining careers of interest
• Finding a job
• Publishing
• Earning grant funding, fellowships, and awards
• Effectively using research tools like SciFinder® and ACS journals online
• Networking
• Advocating for science and chemistry
• Communicating science to chemists and non chemists alike

What is the value for students and faculty?

Understand the breadth of career paths

Over 2/3s of your students will not work in academia. Where are they getting training in the skills they’ll need to join a rapidly transforming workforce?

Learn how a paper goes from submitted to published

Most graduate students never see the “back end” of the publishing process. Our seminars give them a behind-the-scenes look at peer-review.

Practice composing grant proposals to secure funding

Obtaining grant funding and publishing are the two biggest challenges for a researcher. As a funding organization, we have the expertise to guide applicants in this process.

Use the right tools at the right time for maximum efficiency in the lab

Using SciFinder® and ACS journals expertly can be the difference between spending one day at computer versus two weeks in the lab. Learn about maximizing the power of these tools.
