Please take advantage of these two incredible opportunities for advanced PhD students. National Graduate Student Research Festival National Institutes of Health (NIH) October 11-12, 2007 http://www.training.nih.gov Application Deadline: June 1, 2007 Future Faculty Career Exploration Program Rochester Institute of Technology September 26-30, 2007 http://finweb.rit.edu/humanresources/employment/ffcep/ Application Deadline: June 8, 2007 ~~~~~~~~~ National Graduate Student Research Festival The NIH National Graduate Student Research Festival (NGSRF) is an annual two-day event held on the main NIH campus in Bethesda, MD. The Festival introduces 250 advanced graduate students in the sciences to the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) with the aim of recruiting them to do postdoctoral training at the NIH. Competition to participate in the Festival is intense; in 2006, 964 applications were received. The NIH IRP is the world's largest institution focused exclusively on biomedical research. More than 1250 investigators work in laboratories located in Bethesda, Baltimore, and Frederick, MD; Research Triangle Park, NC; Phoenix, AZ; Detroit, MI; and Hamilton, MT. The 240 beds of the new Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center in Bethesda are devoted to clinical research. The IRP is particularly proud of the opportunities it provides to do translational and interdisciplinary research, its extensive resources, and the collaborative atmosphere. Future Faculty Career Exploration Program The Future Faculty Career Exploration Program is one of a series of recruitment strategies designed to fuel the future pipeline of faculty at RIT. This innovative program furthers RIT's goal of "Grow Your Own" future faculty by bringing in students, nearing the end of their doctoral studies, for an all-expense-paid trip to Rochester to receive the "RIT Treatment." Our program as been referred to as 'TIRIT' Total Immersion in RIT by a previous FFCEP participant and RIT boasts several successful hires as a result.
