Kadner Institute for Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scientists in Preparation

ASM Kadner研究生和博士后科学家研究所为微生物学职业做准备是一项为期五年的计划，旨在（1）使研究生和博士后科学家具备成为优秀研究科学家和教师所需的技能，（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微生物科学领域的24名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，这些指导和指导对于选择和准备微生物学家职业生涯至关重要。认识到学生在资助准备，沟通，教学和指导，职业规划和道德方面的培训有限且不一致，ASM研究生和博士后教育委员会成立了ASM Kadner研究所，为研究生和博士后科学家准备微生物学职业生涯，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计划书，清楚地阐明项目的具体目标和解决问题的计划。2.向科学界提供清晰简洁的研究项目口头陈述。3.检查一些职业机会和途径提供给微生物学家在培训和规划自己的途径。4.整合有效的教学和指导策略，以满足微生物学学生在各种不同环境中的教育需求。5.认识到科学界在科学研究方面遇到的伦理问题。渴望成为职业微生物学家和科学家的Kadner参与者代表了广泛的子学科，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。微生物学研究推动科学发展，使其成为了解基本生命过程的工具，并促进为改善公共卫生以及经济和环境福祉而获得的知识。

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.
