Save the Date for the next Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series
The NIH OITE is pleased to offer the next installment of the
Becoming a Resilient Scientist (BRS) series for trainees and fellows at all levels in the biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences.
The goal of this series is to help trainees develop the resilience they need to navigate challenging situations at work and in life.
The series will consist of five webinars, each followed by a small group discussion the following week. The webinars will highlight emotional intelligence competencies needed for academic success and for thriving in research and healthcare careers. We will
discuss the cultivation of skills to help trainees realize resilience and identify and deal with obstacles that get in their way. The small group discussions are a chance to engage in an active, facilitated conversation with peers related to the webinar materials.
This series is an excellent leadership development opportunity to learn skills trainees can use for themselves, their career, and when they are a leader themselves. While trainees may participate in any of the webinars, it is best to participate in the entire
series as the material relates and concepts will be developed throughout the series. Data shows that trainees who attended most of the Becoming the Resilient Scientist series felt that they have become more resilient and were better able to handle stress and
conflict in their lives. The workshops and group discussions in the series are:
Unit 1. An Introduction to Resilience and Wellness
Unit 2. Exploring our Self-Talk: Cognitive Distortions and Imposter Fears
Unit 3. Self-Advocacy and Assertiveness for Scientists
Unit 4. Developing Feedback Resilience
Unit 5. Managing Up to Maximize Mentoring Relationships
Note: There will be no group discussion for Unit 5
The series will start on September 23rd, 2024, and will run until November 18th, 2024.
There is no charge for participation, but advanced registration is required. Webinars will be recorded and shared with all registrants. For more information, please visit our webpage

to register. Please do not hesitate to email us if you have any questions.

Quick Undergraduate Research Survey on Employability Skills
Hello,
I hope this email finds you well.
If you received this email from me, you are a highly respected teacher/professor/researcher/(or someone else who does important things)
at Purdue, and I would greatly appreciate your help.
My name is Tristan, and I am pursuing an undergraduate degree in Materials Engineering. However, for my Honors Scholarly Project, I
am interested in going beyond this field and am exploring various public perspectives/views on hypothetical employability skill assessments. I would greatly appreciate your response to this 2-minute survey. Also, if you are willing to share this form with
others, that would be fantastic.

Chicagoland Postdoc Recruitment Initiative: Application is Open!
See attached
Dear Graduate Students,
The Postdoc Affairs Offices at Northwestern University,The University of Chicago, and University of Illinois Chicago invite you to apply for the Chicagoland
Postdoc Recruitment Initiative, taking place virtually October 10-11,
2024!
Applications will be accepted through Friday, September 13. APPLY
HERE!
Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to learn about THREE postdoctoral programs in the Chicagoland area and the cutting-edge research happening at each institution. More than 130
faculty members from the three institutions have signed-up to participate
in the Initiative!
This is a collaborative initiative to improve diversity and inclusion at the three largest research universities in the Chicago area, with the goal of addressing the "pipeline" challenge in academia for historically marginalized graduate students and postdocs,
including individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, who have disabilities, who identify as LGBTQIA+, who are veterans, or who were first-generation college students or Pell-eligible. Selected participants will learn about postdoctoral
programs in the Chicagoland area, how to find postdoctoral opportunities, how to apply for postdoctoral positions, and how to maximize your postdoctoral experiences. Following these two days of programming, participants will conduct informational interviews
with matched faculty members through October 25.
Questions? Please visit our website or
email us at: chicago.postdoc.recruit@gmail.com
Applicants should be advanced graduate students (have passed qualifying exam or are post-candidacy by October 1, 2024), recent PhD graduates, or early-stage postdocs in STEM fields. There is no citizenship requirement to apply for this event.
Here are some upcoming workshops and deadlines more detailed information about the workshops will be sent out separately closer to
