We are a committee of Transfers in Science involved in helping transfer students obtain research experience. As transfer students, we understand the struggles this community faces in obtaining research positions. We will help you make connections, create a professional persona, and we will provide resources to find other experience opportunities. We're here to give you guidance!
Learn how to build your professional persona! We'll show you how to use resources like LinkedIn, Handshake, and the REAL portal! We'll also help you craft your resume, cover letter, and CV.
Make connections with researchers as they speak on their academic journey and explain their research! Come to be inspired and learn something new.
Want to gain new experiences, but don't know where to start? We'll find lots of volunteer, internship, and job opportunities for you to gain experience and beef up your resume!
Want to help transfer students find research opportunities? Want to find your own? Join us! We hold both social and informative events to help students get make connections and gain career-building skills! Reach out to csimon@ucsd.edu if you have questions. Apply by June 1st.
