Career Development Workshops
2013 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. This year's Career Development Workshop series will kick off on January 8, and take place every Tuesday from 4 to 5 p.m. in Vollum M1441 until mid-March.
If you are at the West Campus or are otherwise unable to attend in-person, you can still watch the workshops from your computer via live stream. If you are interested in streaming any of these presentations, please contact funding@ohsu.edu.
