The Ohio State University is disrupting the way we hire tenure-track faculty, adjunct faculty, researchers, lecturers, postdocs, or similar positions within the academy and research institutes via The BIG10 Academia Career Fair!
It’s time to trade your lab coat for a snazzy suit (at least for a day) and dive into the sea of academic opportunities! Think of this as your chance to experiment with a new career trajectory.
Ready to launch your career to new heights? The BIG10 Academia Career Fair is your launchpad! Don't let this opportunity decay – register now before it’s gone faster than a neutrino!
