    Position Summary
    This is an immersive laboratory experience designed to provide recent college graduates with additional research experience to make them competitive for advanced careers in biomedical science. This program is focused on providing research experience in developmental biology, cell biology, and/or regenerative medicine. Postbaccalaureate researchers will also participate in career development workshops and seminars.

    This program is designed to primarily be a research-focused program, where the participants will spend most of their time in the laboratory of a selected mentor. However, it will also provide additional training and opportunities for participants to achieve readiness in three main areas: readiness for research, readiness for academics, and readiness for self-presentation. This will be accomplished through a curriculum that provides educational opportunities in addition to training in the laboratory. Among these will be opportunities to attend tailored workshops, seminars, research forums, and graduate-level classes. A major focus in the second year will be workshops on preparing a Curriculum Vitae and applying to graduate school. This program is intended to provide research experience for those individuals intending to pursue research oriented biomedical science degree programs, such as those offering the PhD or MD/PhD degrees. The program does not provide additional preparation for those seeking to pursue an MD or other health-related degrees.

    It is expected that the participant will perform research and analysis, as well as technical aspects of studies and experiments, including documentation and preparation of materials.

    Individuals accepted into the program will be designated as salaried employees for a period of up to two years and will be eligible for university sponsored benefits, including health insurance.
