Coalition for Next Generation Life Science
Ten institutions have founded a Coalition for Next Generation Life Science because of a concern that many new PhD graduates and postdoctoral scholars are focusing their job searches solely on a limited number of traditional faculty positions, rather than on the much broader array of non-traditional careers available to people with scientific training.
UMBC joined eight other U.S. research universities and a major cancer institute in announcing plans to give would-be life scientists clear, standardized data on graduate school admissions, education and training opportunities, and career prospects. UMBC joins Johns Hopkins University; Cornell University; Duke University; the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; the University of California, San Francisco; the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; the University of Pennsylvania; and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. More information on the Coalition for New Generation Life Science can be found on the coalition’s website.
Data on postdoctoral fellows in the biomedical sciences at UMBC
Statistics on postdoctoral programs that are connected to the Coalition are reported in partnership withThe Graduate School at UMBC on their website.
