Empowering Researchers: Trainee Career Development Boot Camp

Join us Friday, July 26, for the Empowering Researchers: Trainee Career Development Boot Camp, a free professional development event for biomedical science-focused graduate students and postdoctoral scholars across and outside the University of Arizona. After graduation,  trainees are faced with the complex decision of pursuing careers in postdoctoral research, public policy, research administration, industry, and beyond. The next generation of successful and nationally recognized researchers will receive a unique and targeted opportunity to engage in a hands-on workshop designed to help inform and direct their future career choices.

Hosted by Michael D. L. Johnson, PhD, associate dean of basic science research and graduate studies, inaugural Keating family endowed professorship for interdisciplinary research at the BIO5 Institute, and associate professor of immunobiology.

Friday, July 26 | 10:00 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.
Keating Bioresearch Building (BIO5), Room 103
1657 E. Helen St., Tucson, AZ 85721
