Kadner Institute for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scientists in Preparation

描述(由申请人提供)：ASM Kadner研究生和博士后科学家微生物学研究所是一项为期五年的倡议，旨在(1)增强研究生和博士后科学家成为优秀研究科学家和教师所需的技能，以及(2)提供有关各种职业机会以及追求这些机会所需的资源和技能的信息。该计划的总体目标是每年为多达24名微生物学领域的研究生和博士后科学家提供密集和密切指导的指导和指导，这些指导和指导涉及五个领域，对于选择和准备作为微生物学家的职业生涯非常重要。ASM研究生和博士后教育委员会认识到，学生在补助金准备、交流、教学和指导、职业规划和伦理方面的培训有限且不一致，因此成立了ASM Kadner研究生和博士后科学家研究所，为微生物学的职业生涯做准备，专注于这些职业方面。该研究所的具体目标是帮助参与者：1.准备一份组织良好的研究提案，清楚地阐明其项目的具体目标和解决问题的计划。2.向科学界清楚而简洁地口头介绍他们的研究项目。3.审查接受培训的微生物学家可获得的若干职业机会和途径，并规划自己的途径。4.采用有效的教学和辅导策略，满足微生物学学生在各种不同环境下的教育需求。5.认识到科学界所遇到的有关科学研究的伦理问题。有志成为职业微生物学家和科学家的卡德纳学员代表了广泛的分支学科，包括微生物结构和生理学、微生物遗传学、临床微生物学、医学微生物学、应用和环境微生物学、病毒学、免疫学和公共卫生。微生物学研究促进了科学的发展，使其成为了解基本生命过程和促进为改善公共健康以及经济和环境福祉而获得的知识的工具。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ASM Kadner Institute for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scientists in Preparation for Careers in Microbiology is a five-year initiative to (1) empower graduate students and postdoctoral scientists with skills necessary to become excellent research scientists and teachers and (2) provide information about diverse career opportunities and the resources and skills needed to pursue these opportunities. The program's overall goal is to provide up to 24 graduate students and postdoctoral scientists in the microbiological sciences annually with intensive and closely guided instruction and mentoring in five areas important for selecting and preparing for a career as a microbiologist. Recognizing that students have limited and inconsistent training in grant preparation, communications, teaching and mentoring, career planning, and ethics, the ASM Committee on Graduate and Postdoctoral Education founded the ASM Kadner Institute for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scientists in Preparation for Careers in Microbiology to focus on these career aspects. The specific aims of the Institute are to help participants: 1. Prepare a well-organized research proposal that articulates clearly the specific aims of their project and a plan to address the problem. 2. Deliver a clear and concise oral presentation of their research project to the scientific community. 3. Examine a number of career opportunities and pathways available to microbiologists-in-training and plan their own pathway. 4. Incorporate effective teaching and mentoring strategies to meet the educational needs of microbiology students in a variety of different settings. 5. Recognize ethical implications regarding scientific research as encountered by the scientific community. Kadner participants who aspire to become career microbiologists and scientists represent a broad spectrum of subdisciplines, including microbial structure and physiology, microbial genetics, clinical microbiology, medical microbiology, applied and environmental microbiology, virology, immunology, and public health. Microbiology research advances the sciences as a vehicle for understanding basic life processes and promoting knowledge gained for improved public health as well as economic and environmental well-being.
