Prospective students, be sure to check out the Physics Masters-to-PhD Bridge Program.
We also support the professional development and mentorship of graduate students and postdocs during their time at the lab.
Mentorship is a professional, working alliance in which individuals work together over time to support the personal and professional growth, development, and success of the relational partners through the provision of career and psychosocial support.
We organize sessions on topics including job searching, public speaking, presentation skills and mentoring. These sessions provide information and skill development, as well as a chance to network with graduate students and postdocs from other groups at the lab. Be sure to check out the calendar below for upcoming events!

Individual Development Plan
It is recommended that all graduate students and postdocs at the MagLab create a plan with their mentors to make the most of their time at the lab. One way to do that is to create an Individual Development Plan (IDP). The American Association for the Advancement of Science has a free online IDP that you can fill out with your mentor.
