Dear Colleague,



We would like to tell you about an exciting postdoctoral training program
that is in place at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, and hope
that you will pass information about this opportunity on to your graduate
students.  This program, called TEACRS (Training in Education and Critical
Research Skills), is funded by the Institution Research and Career
Development Award (IRACDA) mechanism of NIH-GMS.



TEACRS is designed to prepare talented young scientists for the multiple
demands of an academic career in biomedical research. Trainees spend on
average 75% of their time conducting bench research and 25% of their time
in career development activities. Teaching skills are developed through
programs involving mentored classroom assignments at minority-serving
institutions in the Boston area.  The training is supplemented by workshops
on teaching methods, career opportunities in academia, and essential skills
such as grant writing, mentoring, and scientific presentations.  The
training components are sequenced to allow trainees to balance the
activities and to build on previous experiences. TEACRS fellows receive up
to four years of salary support and a yearly travel and supply allowance.



*The application deadline for positions beginning in the fall of 2018 is
March 1. *Later applications will be considered if positions are
available.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents with no
more than two years of postdoctoral training at the time of their
appointment to the program. Commitment to the goals of the program, strong
academic and research credentials and a demonstrated interest in teaching
and mentoring will be important criteria used in the selection process.



For additional information on the TEACRS program and application
procedures, please visit our website
<http://sackler.tufts.edu/Academics/TEACRS-Welcome>, or contact Claire
Moore, the Program Director, or Jordan Wilkinson, the Program’s Research
Administrator with questions. We have also attached a printable flier
describing the program.



Thank you for your help in getting the word out about the TEACRS Program.



Best wishes,



Claire Moore

TEACRS Program Director



Mitch McVey

TEACRS Program Co-Director



Jordan Wilkinson

TEACRS Program Research Administrator
