Career Development Seminar

Course Directors: Shan Zha, Yinghui Mao and Ron Liem

The seminar course is designed to help students and postdocs navigate the world after the PhD, with a focus on Biomedical PhDs. The Fall 2020 course explores various career sectors that are common for PhDs.

Students and postdocs can formally register for the course, or attend one or more lectures of particular interest to their future careers. The Office of Graduate Affairs and the Office of Postdoc Affairs will send announcements on each seminar topic.

Format: Two to three invited speakers with a PhD in biomedical sciences will talk about their experience in their current career, from receiving the PhD to their current profession. Students will then have an opportunity for questions and discussions.

Sessions will be held at 5PM on Tuesdays, with exceptions below.
