Overview

This half-day workshop presented by SciPhD provides the essential foundation to prepare you for your first job after UCSF. The resources you need to develop a targeted resume, prepare for interviews, build and leverage your network, and land a job are presented along with a permanent license to their web application Flamingo.

  • Learn what kinds of organizations value PhDs in the biomedical sciences. Learn about large multi-national pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, consulting firms and startups.
  • Analyze job ads, identify critical skills, develop experience statements that show that you're qualified, and generate targeted resumes. All attendees receive a permanent license to Flamingo.
  • Learn critical technical, business, and social skills that are essential in landing your first job after UCSF. Learn how to demonstrate your qualifications based on your experiences and accomplishments. Learn to build and leverage your network to get your resume directly to a hiring manager.
  • There are many ways to apply your science training in the professional world. Continuing at the bench, communications, project management, business development and more are all realistic career choices. Learn about your options!

​On March 27, all participants from the half-day workshop will be invited to a virtual networking reception to meet SciPhD alumni.
