University of Michigan Medical School – Research Operations, Management & Strategy (ROMS) Fellowship
The Research Operations, Management & Strategy (ROMS) Fellowship is a two-year, paid, full-time position at the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, MI. The fellowship is a type of “alternative” postdoctoral experience, designed to transition biomedical Ph.D. graduates and postdoctoral trainees from the research bench to careers in research operations and administration through a series of unit rotations, hands-on learning experiences, and direct mentorship from leaders in the field.
The application for the fellowship is now open and will close on February 19, 2023.
Current fellows will be hosting an informal Q&A-style session on January 19th from 12-1pm EST. Anyone interested can register HERE to receive the Zoom link.
Any further questions about the fellowship can be directed to the R OMS team at ROMS.Fellowship@umich.edu
Science Corps – Paid Teaching Fellowship Abroad for STEM PhDs
Are you a recent or soon-to-be PhD graduate? Would you like to spend up to six months making a difference by developing and teaching science curriculum abroad?
Science Corps offers fully paid internships to upcoming and recent PhD graduates (up to four years after graduation) to help build science capacity at one of our host locations – a town on the island of Bohol in the Philippines, a village up in the Indian Himalayas, in the beautiful port city of Tangier, Morocco, and in the bustling city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. They are also currently developing new site partnerships, and are open to a fellow working on site development.
Fellows travel to partner institutions to develop science curriculum, teach in classrooms, train teachers, and build community-based research projects. In addition to building science capacity at these host locations, they also aim to offer fellows a life-changing experience. Fellows are given the opportunity to spend time in beautiful locations, immerse themselves in different cultures, and learn from their host educators, all while making positive contributions to local communities.
They are presently interested in recruiting immediately for fellowships starting this year or early next year. The deadline for this application round is November 15th, but you are still encouraged to contact them if you would like to be considered for a later appointment!
