We have created a listserv for job opportunties that are appropriate for HBS graduates. The goal is to share these opportunities in a timely fashion to interested students and alumni.This is an opt-in listserv. Please email HBSAdminSupport@ucdenver.edu if you would like to be included - you can unsubscribe at any time. Any member of the listserv can post jobs. If you are not on the listserv but know of a job opportunity, please email us and we will post it. Though the default setting is for listserv members to receive postings as soon as they are shared, we can update individual settings to receive postings as a weekly digest if you prefer - just email us to have your settings updated.

Patrick shared "The World Is Your Oyster: Advice for PhD Students Considering Non-Academic Jobs" by Tia Palermo, Thoai Ngo, Valerie Mueller, Amber Peterman, published by IAPHS. The article offers career advice for PhD students who may be looking for careers outside of academia after they graduate.

If you would like to review dissertations by previous HBS PhD students, we have created an online database of publications that includes many of our previous students' dissertations from the past 20 years. You can find that resource online here.

The "Teaming for Early Career Researchers Workshop Series" is designed to build your capacity to participate in and lead effective interdisciplinary and translational research teams. It addresses the shift in science from an individual-based approach to a teamwork model of conducting clinical and translational research. The program consists of completion of a self-paced online module followed by participation in six virtual workshops, which are each 2 hours in duration. CCTSI affiliate faculty from Colorado State University will provide the workshops.
