<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">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.

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">The application deadline for positions beginning in the fall of 2017 is March 1.
</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial">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.
