Career Development Workshops

2012 Workshop Series

Graduate students and postdocs are encouraged to attend the Vollum Career Development Workshop Series. Led by OHSU faculty, these seminars provide helpful advice for young scientists—from finding a mentor to writing a scientific manuscript. The workshops are held Wednesdays (see dates below), from 12 to 1 p.m. in Vollum M1441. For those of you on West Campus, we will be live streaming to VGTI’s 1st floor seminar room. Contact funding@ohsu.edu if you have questions.
