About Career Development
The members of the SWEHSC have a long and
successful history of stimulating the career development
of young scientists. The Career Development program seeks
to further these efforts to stimulate future research leaders
in environmental health sciences.
This initiative includes:
In collaboration with Outreach, career development
offers opportunities for young scientists to mentor high
school students and early undergraduates with formal training
and outreach activities to high schools that recruit students
to the summer internship program.
Emphasis on career development for environmental
health scientists is essential. The SWEHSC promotes training
of new investigators and brings new expertise into the area
of environmental health sciences.
Specifically the career development component
of the Center plans to cross train researchers concerning
current techniques to expand the expertise and collaborations.
The SWEHSC will coordinate translational
career development in two areas.
