MSA Resources
Don’t forget to take advantage of all the resources the MSA offers!
Focused Interest Groups
Focused Interest Groups (FIG) are a great place for students to learn from the best! These are made of MSA members who can offer their expertise in a specific discipline. So if you need help troubleshooting your experiments, or want to learn a new microscopy technique, or even want to just network as you start looking for jobs after graduation, join a FIG! MSA student members can join one FIG annually for free! Find a FIG HERE!
Jobs Board
Hundreds of exciting professional opportunities are continuously updated on the MSA jobs site: https://jobs.microscopy.org/
Lots of featured career advice is shared on the MSA jobs site as well:
https://jobs.microscopy.org/career-advice/
Student members also receive regular emails with new job postings.
