This volume is an attempt to educate, to provide a source of
information, knowledge, and wisdom to the person who has spent so
much time and energy on his or her schooling. The Council for
Chemical Research (CCR) and the American Chemical Society (ACS)
have both spent considerable effort over the past decades focusing
on how to ensure that graduate education in the chemical sciences
remains at the absolute highest caliber, and produces the best
possible professionals. In spite of notable efforts from both
organizations to prepare graduate students for the professional
world, neither has specifically asked what a person needs to be
successful once they have both the Ph.D. and the first job in hand.
Put succinctly, there is much more to being successful in a career
in chemistry than just the hard-earned Ph.D. degree. What You Need
for the First Job, Besides the Ph.D. in Chemistry is based on a
symposium of the same name held at the 246th National Meeting of
the American Chemical Society, which took place in Indianapolis,
Indiana in September, 2013. This book is the result of seeds that
were planted during numerous informal conversations at the annual
meetings of the CCR, as well as during such discussions at national
and regional meetings of the ACS, and at the ACS employment
clearing houses. The authors felt that the same intense focus a
person needs to earn a Ph.D. might actually work against the
attention to other details needed in order to be successful once he
or she has obtained a position. Leaders want to ensure that new
hires are working effectively toward tenure, are quickly becoming
productive members of their corporate team, or are well integrated
into their government laboratory research group. While it is easy
to lump factors other than technical competence in one's job under
the term "soft skills," this is an oversimplification. This book
represents an attempt to have voices from all three pillars of the
chemical enterprise - academia, industry, and government
laboratories - heard in terms of relating what is important for
their newly hired Ph.D.-holders. What You Need for the First Job,
Besides the Ph.D. in Chemistry will be a valuable resource for
first-time job seekers, as well as those with aspirations of a
future career in the chemical sciences.
