In WashU, we have about 70 academic programs/fields for PhD & Postdoctoral scholars. To serve this diverse population better, we put these programs/fields into six categories as shown below. We highly encourage you to sign up for our PhD & Postdoctoral Scholars community. In addition, we recommend you sign up for at least one more industry-based communities, as suggested below. These industry-focused communities host numerous events and offer resources primarily aimed at undergraduate and master’s students, but they are also accessible and advantageous for our PhD and Postdoc members. Events such as alumni networking opportunities, employer information sessions, and Bear Treks could be extremely helpful for you.
