The SDCSB’s Systems Biology Trainee Program provides support to both graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Applications consist of an NIH biosketch, letters of support faculty advisors and a two-page research plan. Applications will be judged on their potential for groundbreaking science and synergy across mentors. Trainees will be expected to attend and participate in events such as the SDCSB Annual Retreat, Quarterly Systems-to-Synthesis Meetings and the upcoming External Advisory Board Meeting, which this year is being held alongside the Winter qBio Meeting at the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, Hawaii.

To foster the careers of these Trainees, the SDCSB is organizing a 10-week Career Development Seminar Series (also 2017 and 2016) in the spring quarter. These seminars will include talks from systems biology researchers from academia and industry detailing career paths and providing valuable advice. We will also hold workshops on writing material for job applications such as research and teaching proposals. Trainees also meet once-a-month throughout the year at the Systems Biology Club to discuss their own work or a recent key publication in their field.
