Joslin Diabetes Center and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts are establishing a new program for individuals who have recently completed their undergraduate degrees and are interested in pursuing a doctoral degree and research focused career. This 2-year program is designed to provide a full-time, mentored research experience and coursework in the field of diabetes and metabolism, as well as career development workshops focused on application to and matriculation in PhD programs. Stipends will be provided ($56,484/year plus benefits). Participants will benefit from a highly collaborative scientific environment and expert mentorship of Joslin and BIDMC faculty. We anticipate recruiting 5 post-baccalaureates to begin in July 2024, contingent on NIH funding.
