Given the interdisciplinarity and relative adolescence of the field of Data Science, it is unsurprising that career paths in the field are confusing and opaque. The Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) Career Development Network is putting together a number of panel discussions focused on helping early-career data scientists (graduate students, post-docs, newer faculty) understand what jobs are available in the field and how they differ by domain area.

This career symposium is designed to offer attendees the opportunity to hear from diverse and experienced data scientists about their education and career paths, the skills expected of these positions, where and how to seek these types of positions, and what to expect when working in these fields.
