Summary
September 24, 2026 | 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM ET
As research, innovation, and scientific careers become increasingly global, many graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early-career scientists are exploring opportunities beyond the United States. For international scholars in the United States, in particular, evolving immigration policies, funding landscapes, and workforce needs can make it valuable to consider a broader range of career destinations.
This workshop provides an introduction to STEM career opportunities outside the United States. Drawing on data, resources, and experiences from globally mobile scientists, participants will explore career and funding opportunities in regions such as Canada, the European Union and Japan, as well as the factors that influence successful international transitions. The session will address differences in hiring practices, workplace culture, and professional norms across countries while highlighting strategies for evaluating relocation decisions and building international professional networks. Whether attendees are actively considering a move abroad or simply seeking to expand their understanding of the global STEM landscape, they will leave with practical tools and resources for making informed career decisions in an increasingly interconnected world.
