Post-Doctoral Program:
A primary goal of the postdoctoral training program is to provide an opportunity for the trainee to develop into a truly independent biomedical scientist. Our experience suggests that the goals of independence and productivity during the training program are achieved most effectively by incorporating the following elements into the program:
- The fellow will be closely allied with a trainer, acting as both mentor
and co-investigator.
- A mentoring committee will be assigned, consisting of the primary
trainer and at least one additional member of our training program.
The second (and possibly third) member(s) of the post-doctoral trainee's
committee will be chosen to represent diverse scientific interests (e.g.
molecular or translational expertise if the primary mentor is a system
physiologist).
- Postdoctoral trainees will interact extensively with all relevant
faculty trainers and their co-investigators. Such interactions are natural
in the course of collaborative research, and will be fostered through
interactions at in journal clubs, seminar series and the annual Regulation
of Respiration Conference.
- Interaction is encouraged and formalized via seminars, journal clubs
and special topics courses
among the pre and postdoctoral trainees; considerable emphasis is placed on the practice of mutual assistance with research projects and preparation of research presentations.
