pd|hub fills a critical need, enabling PhD students and postdocs to apply their skills and passion for science to a wide range of occupations and societal issues. We will all benefit as a result.
As leaders in graduate and postdoctoral training, we need to recognize the realities of the current scientific enterprise and build a system to educate students for the many careers available to them.
We have a responsibility to create scientific training environments that empower our trainees to advance research and discovery, and also to pursue and succeed in careers across society that need and depend on their scientific perspective and expertise.
To benefit from the potential that diversity holds for the scientific enterprise, institutions need to regard career and professional development as critical as disciplinary knowledge to the success of their graduate students and postdoctoral scientists.
pd|hub will help integrate lessons learned and distill best practices in fostering STEM Ph.D. career and professional development, critical to modernizing education in these fields.
We will help institutions meet the career and professional development needs of STEM trainees and the training expectations of granting organizations in a cost-efficient way.
We will work with societies to highlight the professional development resources and services they offer for their members, and support societies in making their offerings more cost-efficient.
We will engage employers in reforming graduate and postdoctoral education to bolster the scientific workforce.
We will support the dissemination, implementation and assessment of evidence-based training models and the professional development of the practitioners who create them.
We will identify and support adaptation of innovative, evidence-based educational approaches primed for investment and promotion.
We will partner with educational researchers and evaluators to bolster cross-disciplinary educational research and facilitate the translation of research to practice.
We will promote the work of education-focused organizations and connect them with other stakeholders to accelerate their impact on the field.
We will support journals in defining standards for studies in career and professional development by facilitating growth in evaluation and research.
This is an initiative developed by people committed to the career and professional development of scientists. See more >
