“Scientists are leaders. They just don’t know it!”
-Larry Petcovic, MS, co-founder, SciPhD
At SciPhD, we believe scientists are natural leaders — they just don’t know it yet. Our mission is to prepare PhD scientists for successful careers beyond academia by training them in essential business and social skills that employers in biotech, pharma, and related industries value most.
Through immersive workshops, certificate programs, and our innovative Flamingo® web application, we equip scientists with practical expertise in communication, leadership, negotiation, project management, and networking. Our programs empower PhDs to identify, articulate, and demonstrate the critical technical, business, and social skills employers demand.
Founded by experienced scientists and industry veterans from Celera Genomics, SciPhD blends deep scientific knowledge with real-world business acumen. Over the past decade, we’ve partnered with leading universities, medical schools, and research institutions across the U.S. and abroad to help thousands of scientists confidently transition to industry roles.
Our latest innovation — SciPhD Talent Acquisition Services — connects companies directly with exceptional, pre-qualified PhD talent who are not only technically superior but also ready to thrive in team-oriented, business-driven environments. Through our Virtual Talent Showcases, hiring managers meet graduates from top-tier programs who are prepared to contribute from day one.
At SciPhD, we don’t just train scientists — we unlock their leadership potential and match them with organizations where they can excel.
