The Einstein Career & Professional Development Program for graduate students and postdocs is a joint venture among the Graduate Division of Biomedical Sciences, the Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Science, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
Our activities are designed to address the needs and wishes of our student and postdoc community, which are gleaned from an annual CPD Survey and frequent meetings of our committee for Career & Professional Development. The committee is comprised of graduate students, postdocs, junior faculty and representatives of the Graduate Division and Belfer Institute. Its members help to define areas of interest and to prepare program proposals. These proposals are discussed by the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and the Director of the Belfer Institute.
