First-year graduate students (G1s) are required to participate in a minimum of two rotations. The goal of the rotations is to broaden a student's scientific perspective by exposing him or her to the science and environment of different laboratories. Students may request rotations within the department or in one of the many laboratories from affiliated departments.
Students will conduct three 4-week rotations (in three different labs), or they may conduct one 8-week and one 4-week rotation (in two different labs). Students conducting research in a laboratory over the summer prior to their G1 year may count this time as one rotation, but subsequent rotations during the first year must be done in different labs. Students are strongly encouraged to pursue at least three different rotations before selecting their research advisor in order to maximize their familiarity with different research environments.
- It is expected that all students will participate in teaching sections or laboratory for two terms.
Most students teach in the spring term of their first year and the fall term of their second year.
For more information about teaching fellows at Harvard, see the
teaching fellows handbook and related publications.
-
The Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning offers a wide variety of resources and services
for students who plan to serve as graduate Teaching Fellows at Harvard University.
- CCB Ph.D. candidates report their progress to a Graduate Advising Committee (GAC) at least once per year, beginning in their G2 year. The GAC may require more frequent meetings depending on the student's progress, especially as the dissertation defense nears.
- The GAC has 3 main objectives:
- To promote the timely completion of the degree requirements.
- To foster non-advisor faculty-student interactions.
- To provide career counseling.
