Not sure where to start? Use our timelines!
Our timelines show the full array of OCPD's programs and resources laid out over the duration of a PhD or postdoc in a Gantt-style chart. See what we offer and when we suggest checking it out, and then make a plan for when you'd like to engage with us.
Workplace Navigation: The Strategic Student/Postdoc
This series teaches strategic competencies, such as situational awareness, problem-solving, interest-based negotiation, backward-designing training and professional goals, positioning oneself, managing professional relationships, and navigating organizational politics. Use these workshops and tools to set yourself up for success so that you can focus on your research.

A little planning can go a long way! Use this tool to learn about IDPs, find a format that works for you, and use your IDP to have a yearly conversation with your research mentor.
