Applications for the ACBS Early Career Mentorship Program will be accepted until May 1, 2026.
Objective: This initiative, led by the ACBS Centering Science Strategic Pillar, is designed to support early career CBS researchers in securing research-focused faculty positions at research universities and academic medical centers.
Eligibility: Applicants must be current ACBS members who are early career, defined as within five years of PhD graduation (including individuals in current postdoctoral and faculty positions). Graduate students who have defended their dissertation and are currently on their predoctoral clinical internship are also eligible. Applicants without a PhD or equivalent degree who plan to apply for positions in countries that do not offer PhD-level training may still apply. These applicants should include information about their research training and eligibility for a research-focused faculty position in that country. In some unique cases, applicants who do not meet all eligibility criteria may still be considered.
Questions? If you are considering applying and do not meet all eligibility criteria but believe you would be a strong fit for the program, please contact the committee chair, Jacqueline Pistorello ([email protected]).
