Have you heard of UCSF's Path to Postdoc Program? Path to Postdoc is a unique program for outstanding senior graduate students with backgrounds in the biomedical and health sciences, that will complete their PhD by the end of 2021, to be exposed to world-class research communities at UCSF and the associated Gladstone Institutes.

The program is actively recruiting and seeking applications from outstanding senior graduate students, especially those from backgrounds historically marginalized in academic biomedical research. The deadline to apply for the March Cohort is Feb 22, 2022.

This year, Path to Postdoc will operate virtually, with quarterly cohorts in March, June, and September. Participants will experience a slice of life at UCSF: interview with faculty and labs, connect with current postdocs, and gain exposure to the rich scientific community and resources unique to UCSF. Participants who choose UCSF for their postdoc will be included in ongoing carefully curated career and professional development workshops and community building activities aimed to launch their independence.
