Through the Office of Academic Programs, GSAS is committed to assisting graduate students in developing the skills needed to launch and build successful careers inside or outside academia.
In addition to the support offered by GSAS (see offices and opportunities below) and support offered at the department or program level, students can access many other resources available through:
- The Fellowships & Writing Center
- The Office of Student Affairs
- The Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning
- The Office of Career Services
Students may also find Scholarly Pursuits: A Guide to Professional Development during the Graduate Years, written by former Director of Fellowships Cynthia Verba, useful. Scholarly Pursuits offers advice on professional development in preparation for an academic career and for enhancing PhD career opportunities more generally. Included are samples of winning fellowship proposals, as well as CVs and cover letters for job applications.
