Career and Professional Development

Whether you are just starting or are about to finish your degree, the resources we provide are for you.

We offer career and professional development services for PhD and Masters students in all departments and in all stages of their career (in fact, we encourage you to come meet us early on in your graduate career!). Our goal is to enable students to pursue fulfilling careers in the private sector, academia, nonprofits and government.

Read Our Alumni Spotlights

“Professional development has been an invaluable resource for me. When you show up at their door (or in their inbox), they take the time to review and revise any materials you need — talks, resumes, LinkedIn, student groups, you name it.”-Will Dahl, Molecular and Cell Biology PhD Student and Overall Winner of 3MT Competition 2024

“I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I have received from the Professional Development team over the past 5 years of my PhD…When I talk to my friends who are PhD students at other schools, I haven't heard of a team as connected and caring as ours at Brandeis; they truly invest so much time and resources into their students.”-Liz Mahon, Psychology PhD Student and Winner of 3MT Competition 2023
