The Program in Graduate Education (PGE) at Harvard Medical School (HMS), in collaboration with the Scientific Citizenship Initiative (SCI) @ HMS, is pleased to host this session showcasing the growing array of post-docs available for lifes sciences trainees looking for training in the areas of teaching, higher ed administration and science policy. These post-docs exist in varying forms, some preparing trainees for careers combining scientific research with work in these areas of expertise.
This session will feature professionals who are hiring managers, mentors or past participants in these "non-traditional post-docs".
