Brief overviews of suggested timelines for preparing for a career in academia or in industry will be given and a variety of resources will be shared. An informal Q&A about the hiring process in academia will be held with Dr. Robin Deeley.

I will discuss joint work with Magnus Goffeng and Allan Yashinski on the construction of non-zero projections in certain C*-algebras. To begin, the case of continuous trace C*-algebras will be discussed. The results in this case lead to a natural conjecture for more general type I C*-algebras. However, as will be outlined via explicit examples, even in the case of Fell algebras the question of the existence of non-zero projections is quite subtle.
