Spencer Hall at the Department of Biology at Indiana University has collected a good collection of Resources for Graduate Students and Post-Docs that give advice on career development, writing, and teaching:
- Advice on being a graduate student and becoming a professional
- Grant writing
- Advice on getting a faculty job
- Advice on good writing
- Advice on giving good talks and posters
- Guides/thoughts on authorship and reviewing
- Teaching
- Other people’s webpages for graduate students
He writes:
These resources are meant to offer advice, but they should be considered as food for thought rather than a recipe for success. With that caveat in mind, I hope that you find these documents useful. If you find anything yourself which might be useful to others, please send it along and I will post it.
Again, you may not agree with all of the advice in these documents, or you may not find some articles helpful. Please view everyone’s advice with a healthy dose of skepticism
