Professional Development

Post Graduation Skills

The Department of Physics at McGill University has become an academic member of the Erdös Institute, a multi-university collaboration focused on helping PhDs get jobs they love at every stage of their career. Founded in 2017, the Institute helps train and place a diverse pool of graduate students, postdocs, and graduate alumni. Graduate students, postdocs, and graduate alumni have free access to all of the Career Development Programs, Resources, and Services that the Institute provides. Examples include the "Invitations to Industry" career exploration seminar series, data science boot camps, PhD alumni-led mini-courses, interview prep workshops, and career coaching services. Further information can be found on their web site.

Registration for fall workshop of the Erdös Institute is September 1, 2023.
