Put Your Science to Work
The Take-Charge Career Guide for Scientists

Peter S. Fiske, Ph.D.

The job market is more complex and challenging than ever before.  Although young scientists and engineers are facing a larger array of career choices, many of them are not getting the job hunting and career development advice they need to make wise decisions. 

If you’re a new scientist or seeking a mid-career change, Peter Fiske’s Put Your Science to Work:  The Take-Charge Career Guide for Scientists gives you practical advice and proven techniques for finding both traditional and non-traditional jobs in science.  It includes examples of resumes and cover letters, and stories of scientists who have moved into a wide range of careers. 

Written with humor and insight, Put Your Science to Work gives readers a broad view of career possibilities and tools for choosing the best job options. Completely revised and updated from Fiske’s best-seller To Boldly Go:  A Practical Career Guide for Scientists, this second edition offers expert help on how to achieve success now. 

Peter Fiske is a staff scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.  He lectures on career development at universities and scientific meetings and has written a monthly career advice column, “Tooling Up” for AAAS’s career development web-site.
 

“The job market today presents challenges and opportunities for scientists. I hope this book helps you to recognize your strengths, identify your opportunities, and explore your options”. 

Dr. Bruce Alberts, President, National Academy of Sciences
