Please visit the AAAS Career Discussion Forum during our special Guest
Adviser week of July 17th. This week, we have two consultants with us
who will address your questions and career interests in consulting
careers. Both Dr. John Greene and Dr. Clare Ozawa are with us all week,
ready to answer your questions and to discuss their mutual areas of
expertise.
Dr. Ozawa will be responding to questions about the field of business
consulting. As an in-house expert at McKinsey, Clare Ozawa took an
unusal turn with her career (after a PhD in Neurosciences from
Stanford). This led her away from the bench and into a role at one of
the world's best-known consulting firms, where she is an Engagement
Manager for the company. Many people who are targeting consulting
careers know about McKinsey and their reputation for hiring large
numbers of MBA's and PhD's. Clare will help us make sense of what the
career track is like inside this company and others like it.
Dr. Greene is a scientist and well-known expert in the field of
bioinformatics, and he serves as the director of this practice area for
SRA International. SRA is a leading provider of information technology
services and solutions - including strategic consulting; systems
design, development, and integration; and outsourcing and managed
services - to clients in national security, civil government, and
health care and public health markets. Obviously, informatics is
critical to their client base, and Dr. Greene manages this part of the
consulting practice. He will answer your questions about bioinformatics
careers now and into the future.
The AAAS Science Careers Discussion Forum is a unique resource for
scientists. Please visit us and join the community for a question or
two this week to our two consulting experts.
