The purpose of this course is to introduce graduate students to useful topics in their quest to attain and retain a tenure track researcher position (or equivalent) at some point in their scientific future. These subjects are not always taught by mentors or through a traditional curriculum, but they are of utmost importance in a successful career. A breadth of issues will be presented that many principal investigators would say they wished they learned in graduate school and should give students the resources to become competitive scientific professionals.
