Building a Career Office, It's Healthy: Let's Try It, Students & Postdocs, Things I've Been Asked About Work

It’s Healthy, Let’s Try It: Why my office tests all sorts of organizational management best practices as a team.

Students & Postdocs

Space to think: We designed a brainstorming workshop to help rotating Ph.D. students recognize their right thesis lab

Boundaries at Work, Building a Career Office, Students & Postdocs

Ph.D. students & postdocs sometimes discuss sensitive issues. What level of confidentiality can career and professional development staff offer?

Our job in career and professional development workshops? To ask the questions Ph.D. students and postdocs won’t.

Navigating Work Skillfully, Students & Postdocs

Teaching students and postdocs how to use an interview to assess if a workplace is toxic. Yep, we did that.

I’m the Director of OCPD, the career and professional development office at the University of California San Francisco (career.ucsf.edu). We serve health professional/graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in the biomedical sciences.

I write about four things:

1) Questions I’ve been asked about work (usually so I can keep links)

2) Career and professional development issues affecting graduate and professional students and postdoctoral scholars

3) Establishing and building a career development office on a university campus, and

4) My team’s ongoing efforts to implement organizational management best practices to build a high functioning, healthy office that we actually want to work in (because if we can’t do it as career and professional development professionals, who can?)
