Event Description

Come learn about the benefits of the Scholar Mentoring and Diversity Program for Biotechnology (SMDP). This one-year career mentoring program pairs ethnically diverse students (including Ph.D. & Post-docs) and early career researchers with industry mentors who work at companies in the medical technology, biotechnology and consumer healthcare industries. With their mentors, Scholars attend a 5-day training session to learn about career opportunities in industry and receive career development coaching. They also attend a major industry conference. This program is a fantastic opportunity that has helped graduate students and postdocs land industry positions! At this information session, you will also hear from Dustielyn Savage who is the program director for SMDP as well as iJOBS trainees who have done the program. Applicants must be eligible to work permanently in the United States without needing a visa or sponsorship.

Zoom and In-person options. Lunch will be served for those who attend in-person
