Do you know outstanding Ph.D. students who anticipate graduating by the summer of 2022, and are interested in pursuing postdoctoral training? Postdoctoral Research Opportunities in Science (PROS) allows students to explore the options for postdoctoral training and learn about the resources at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). We facilitate the matching of students with faculty who have aligned interests and provide guidance and support to students through the exploration process. A list of interested faculty who are currently seeking postdoctoral candidates is here.

Selected candidates will be invited for a virtual visit during November 2021 to learn about resources at BCM designed to help postdocs reach their professional goals and meet with faculty and lab groups. Candidates are expected to meet with at least 3 prospective faculty mentors.

The application is due by October 20, 2021.

Baylor College of Medicine provides:

  • Collaborative basic, clinical and translational research

IDEAL Research x NIH Hosts: Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series

September 17, 2021 by Rebecca Lopez


Together with the National Institutes of Health, IDEAL Research is presenting “Becoming a Resilient Scientist” series that is open to all current Ph.D. students and post-docs in BGS. Navigating school, the career exploration process, research environments, and the stress of life can seem overwhelming and lead us to doubt ourselves just when we need confidence the most. The goal of this series is to help you develop the resilience you need to navigate challenging situations in school, work, and life. The series will consist of five webinars, each followed by a small group discussion the following week. The webinars will highlight emotional intelligence competencies needed for academic success and for thriving in research and healthcare careers. We will discuss the cultivation of skills to help you realize resilience and identify and deal with obstacles that get in your way. 

The time commitment for participants is approximately 2.5 hours per session (1.5 hours to watch the webinar live or asynchronously plus 1 hour for small group discussions). The webinar sessions are offered live the Thursday before the group discussions and can also be watched asynchronously.

The group discussions in the series are below. Participants are expected to commit to the entirety of the series.

  • Monday, September 27 – 1PM-2PM  – An Introduction to Resilience and Wellness 
  • Monday, October 11 – 1PM-2PM  – Exploring our Self-Talk: Cognitive Distortions and Imposter Fears
  • Monday, October 25 – 1PM-2PM – Self-Advocacy and Assertiveness for Scientists
  • Monday, November 8 – 1PM-2PM – Developing Feedback Resilience
  • Monday, November 22 – 1PM-2PM – Managing Up to Maximize Mentoring Relationships
