Josh Henkin will visit campus Feb. 1 and 2.

Nationally recognized career expert Josh Henkin will visit campus next month to offer a series of workshops for doctoral students and postdoctoral associates who are preparing to seek industry or government positions in STEM.  

Henkin is founder of career coaching and counseling services firm STEM Career Services. He will be on campus Thursday, Feb. 1, and Friday, Feb. 2, to offer a series of four workshops on ways to tailor resumes, discuss and categorize skills, and interview for positions in today’s ultra-competitive STEM fields. Henkin will also be available for informal discussion over meals with doctoral students, postdocs and faculty mentors. 

“Henkin’s workshops are a must-attend experience that can be a game changer for participants,” says Daniel Olson-Bang, director of professional and career development for the Graduate School. “His extensive experience in industry and his support of STEM graduate students and postdocs in institutions across the country make him uniquely situated to address our students’ and postdoc scholars’ needs and provide essential support for their job searches.”    

After earning a STEM Ph.D. and completing a postdoctoral fellowship, Henkin was awarded an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Science & Technology Policy fellowship and has held numerous industry and government jobs. He is a subject matter expert and career coach for the AAAS Science Careers and Career Development Center and works as a career development coach for Lawrence Berkeley National Labs Postdoc Program. He previously served two terms on the board of directors of the National Postdoctoral Association and spent 15 years as a hiring manager in STEM. He is author of the book “Advance Your Career – Identify and Articulate Your Skills,” copies of which will be raffled at the workshops.  

 The workshops are offered jointly by the Graduate School and the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs. They are co-sponsored by the Graduate Student Organization (GSO), College of Arts and Sciences, College of Engineering and Computer Science and Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) at Syracuse University, and by the Upstate Medical University College of Graduate Studies and the SUNY ESF Graduate School.
