Retention and Inclusion of Scholars for Excellence (RISE) Fellows – Department of Cell Biology and Physiology – Washington University in St. Louis
The Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at Washington University School of Medicine would like to solicit your nominations for a new Retention and Inclusion of Scholars for Excellence (RISE) Fellows program in the department.
The RISE program seeks to hire outstanding senior graduate students or early-stage postdoctoral fellows from historically excluded and underrepresented minority backgrounds into a three-year mentored Faculty Fellow period followed by a direct transition into a WashU Assistant Professor position in the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology. Important features of the program will include immediate faculty status, advocates and mentors, generous salary and flexible funding, and ongoing professional development (e.g., in grant writing and management).
At this stage, the Department of Cell Biology and Physiology is hoping to make candidates aware of the program, answer any questions they might have, and encourage them to apply—now or in future years.
