Additional responsibilities will include managing and coordinating communication among partners and with the Advisory Board, sharing information on activities on the project’s website, organization and storage of project data, and writing project reports. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will have the opportunity to collaborate on the preparation of research proposals with members of the ADVANCE Partnership team.
The successful candidate will receive mentored scholarly and research training as well as courses and workshops to enhance their research success skills and prepare for a faculty position at a research institution.
