Future Faculty Fellows Program
The Future Faculty Fellows Program aims to prepare postdoctoral scientists for successful careers that combine research, service, mentoring, and teaching. There are two components to the program – a workshop on teaching and career development, and a teaching apprenticeship program that provides a faculty-mentor experience in designing and teaching an undergraduate course.
The workshop is open to any postdoctoral fellow in their 2nd year and beyond from the UW and our affiliated institutions: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle Biomedical Research Institute and Seattle Children’s Research Institute. You can participate in the workshop even if you do not become a teaching apprentice.
