Postdocs

We are excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the Foundations of Leadership Program, a Torrey Pines Leadership Development Program at Sanford Burnham Prebys! This year-long program, initially established in 2015, is designed specifically for postdocs and advanced graduate students. The purpose of the program is to learn more about your leadership style and the styles of others towards understanding how you and your current/future teams can succeed. Major topics that will be discussed in the context of leadership include: communication styles, conflict management, leadership strengths, influencing others, and negotiation. To learn more about the program, see attached flyer and visit http://sbpleaders.org/SitePages/Foundations.aspx.

Space is limited! To apply, visit http://sbpleaders.org/SitePages/Foundations.aspx and complete the online application form. If accepted into the program, participants will pay a $290 fee that covers all program expenses and assessments.

Application Deadline: July 8, 2024 @ 11:59 pm PT

We recognize that as a year-long program, this may appear to be a large time commitment, but keep in mind that the program meets virtually only once a month (~4 hrs) on Friday mornings from August 2024 to June 2025. Project and self-study time will be at your discretion. If you have concerns about your ability to participate, do not hesitate to contact us (sbpleaders@sbpdiscovery.org). In addition to Sanford Burnham Prebys graduate students and postdocs, this program will be open to postdocs from institutions from around the world.

NOTE: The Office of Education, Training, & International Services (OETIS) will work directly with your institutional career development office to receive payment on your behalf should you decide to use available professional development funds.
