This is an initiative from the Centering Science Strategic Pillar aimed at supporting early career CBS researchers in securing research-focused faculty positions in research universities/academic medical centers. We have awarded our second cohort of three mentees and this application is closed.
Applicants must be a current ACBS member who is early career - defined as within five years post PhD graduation date (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. If an applicant does not have a PhD or equivalent degree and is planning to apply for positions in a country that does not offer PhD level training, they may still apply, but should include information on their research training and their eligibility for a research-focused faculty position in that country. In some unique cases applicants may be considered that do not meet all of these eligibility criteria. If you are considering applying and do not meet all of the eligibility criteria, but have a strong case to make for why you would be a good fit for this program, please contact the committee chair, Aki Masuda, at amasuda4@hawaii.edu.
