The Careers in Translational Science Seminar Series aims to broaden the exposure of graduate students, post-docs and other trainees at the HSC on the variety of career options within Biomedical Science. Whether it is forging ahead to make Translational discoveries, educating the next generation of scientists, or influencing national policy related to research, there are a variety of options for our various trainees to choose from. Speakers in this series represent the top of their respective fields and the paths that they have taken in their careers will serve as models for others who strive for excellence.

A National Conference Sponsored by the Academic Science Education and Research Training
July 10-12, 2022 | Albuquerque NM
From July 10 -12, 2022 the Academic Science Education and Research Training (ASERT) program will host a national conference for diversity scholars.
The conference will be held at the Albuquerque Hotel Conference Center in historic Old Town Albuquerque.
The conference will feature plenary talks on interdisciplinary research at UNM, best practices in teaching and education, as well as professional development skill-building workshops.
We plan a tour of UNM for interested participants to meet department and institutional leaders to discuss faculty position openings and opportunities 2:30-4 p.m. on Monday July 11.
Recruitment materials may also be distributed at a planned career fair to be held at the Hotel Albuquerque Conference Center.
Contacts for further information: Administrative Assistant Janet Kelly, Program Directors: Angela Wandinger-Ness, PhD or Sherry Rogers, PhD
We invite interested UNM postdoctoral scholars and faculty to take advantage of this event. Please see our webpage for more information.
The ASERT program is one of 21 Institutional Research and Career Development Award (IRACDA) K12 training programs nationwide that utilizes a cohort model and prepares diverse post-doctoral scholars for academic careers in biomedical sciences to engineering. ASERT was inaugurated in 2009, has been continuously supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences with scholars working in HSC and main campus research laboratories. Fellows gain teaching expertise through formal course work and immersive teaching experiences working with education mentors at one of three partnered minority serving institutions (CNM, SIPI and NMSU). ASERT boasts 45 alumni and 11 current scholars and there are over 250 current scholars in the network nationally.
Based on their dual training in research and education, IRACDA scholars are highly sought after and are ideal candidates for appointment as faculty through the newly funded NIH U54 Faculty Institutional Recruitment for Sustainable Transformation (FIRST) awards.

The Clinical and Translational Investigator Program (CTIP) is a unique two-year curriculum designed to facilitate scientific communication and accomplishment, and to provide a supportive environment for developing clinical and translational competencies in an informal and collegial atmosphere. The program is open to postdoctoral fellows, junior faculty and CTSC-affiliated scholars (including KL2 Mentored Career Development scholars and Master of Science in Clinical Research students). The aim is to provide a supportive environment for developing clinical and translational competencies.
Participants meet monthly to discuss their research, research ethics, and other topics related to conducting clinical and translational research. Each participant makes three presentations over a two-year period. The meetings also include didactic presentations that focus on clinical and translational research methods and cross-disciplinary research resources. receive feedback from their peers and faculty mentors, representing approximately 12 different departments in the School of Medicine, College of Pharmacy and College of Nursing.
The monthly meetings also include didactic presentations that focus on clinical and translational methods and cross-disciplinary research resources. Presentations have been given on study database management, comparative effectiveness research, engaging communities, clinical trials support FDA IND/IDE submission, among others. Core directors and specialists are invited to share information on resources available through the CTSC and other campus centers. The program is also effective at building collegiality among junior faculty and introducing researchers to others in different fields with similar interests.
During their first year in the Biomedical Sciences program, students (MS, PhD, MD/PhD) participate in lab rotations to help them identify research interests and mentors. After each rotation they give a short (5 min) presentation on their lab experience.
Lightning talks are typically held three times a year in October, January, and March. Dates and locations are announced in the weekly Research Education Office Digest and on this website when finalized.
