Students & Postdocs

UCSF: Where every month is career exploration month for Ph.D.s – Every. Single. Month.

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?)
