We are soliciting applications for teaching fellows for breakout sessions in the first year PhD curriculum. The curriculum is composed of 4 core modules and additional elective modules that cover Foundations in Biomedical Sciences. These courses have small breakout discussion sessions that focus on classic papers, problem solving, and current topics in the biomedical sciences. Teaching fellows will work closely with a faculty mentor to review material, set goals, and facilitate the discussion sessions.

PhD and MD/PhD students who have passed their qualifying exams and postdocs are eligible to apply.
