The Association of Minority Biomedical researchers is very excited to invite you to be part of their Mentorship Program!
What is this about? As a post-doc volunteer in our program you will have several opportunities:
– guide a graduate student for a year: the idea is for graduate students to have a post-doc with whom they can discuss all aspects of graduate school life. Mentor-mentee meetings would be informal and will be held in an as needed basis, we encourage meetings at least twice per semester.
– Serve as speaker in workshops: we provide career development workshops for graduate students and post-docs are the ones that run the dynamics and discuss the topics.
– Serve at mock candidacy exam committees: we arrange mock candidacy exams for 2nd year students where you get to evaluate their written proposal and oral presentation.
Our efforts are led by Andrew Bean, Ph.D., Associate Dean for Graduate Education, and Marenda Wilson-Pham, Ph.D., Program Manager. As an AMBR postdoctoral mentor, the GSBS Dean’s office will provide recommendation letters to active participants per request.
