Level 1 of PhD Plus STEM Future Faculty module
In this session, trainees will synergize discussions from previous sessions to align their interests and likes to academic environments (research-intensive, teaching-intensive, both) and cultures. Furthermore, they will learn about grant discovery tools, and create short-term and long-term career training plans to ultimately integrate within Individual Development Plan. This session will inform trainees’ participation in relevant skills training topics of PhD Plus Future Faculty.
