Are you an underrepresented minority postdoc in biological or biomedical sciences? The Accomplishing Career Transitions (ACT) Program may be for you!
ACT is a two-year, in-person and online, cohort-based professional development program for postdocs and assistant professors in the biological/biomedical sciences interested in transitioning into faculty and research roles. Participants must be an underrepresented minority in science or be at a primarily minority-serving institution. Participants will receive travel funds for designated ACT activities.
This program will enable you to:
1. Acquire new skills and strategies through interactive training, online sessions, peer mentoring, and participation in various practicums.
2. Receive funding and opportunities to practice your new skills though active career management and entrepreneurship practicums.
3. Expand and strengthen your support network through cohort-based, near-peer, and peer-mentoring.
In-person and online workshop sessions will address a range of topics from conflict management and effective teaching strategies to scientific publishing and career management. ACT has been designed to empower emerging scientists for successful transition in academic rank and career advancement.
Applications are due by midnight on March 28 and those selected will be notified by April 29. Click here for the full program schedule and details.
