Post Doctoral Training Program

The individual research laboratories offer post-doctoral fellowships.  Typical fellowships are for a minimum of two years.   During this time the trainees undertake a major research project under the guidance of the Principal Investigator of the laboratory  As part of this process the fellows learn the field that they are researching in depth.   They are taught how to carry out a successful research program.  This includes the teaching of methodology, and how to formulate hypotheses, design well controlled experiments and critically evaluate results.   Fellows are taught how to write manuscripts and give scientific talks.  They will present their results in seminars to their colleagues.  There are several high quality seminar series at UMMS and trainees are expected to attend lectures in their area research.   The goal at the end of the training period is that fellows are prepared to conduct an independent research program and to successfully garner research support.
