Trainee Achievements

Former participants bring skills to positions in industry and academia

Four prior Trainees and Associates have found gainful employment in both industry and academic fields. Two of these four are in research positions. One prior participant has become an Assistant Professor, and two have become supervisors (one in research another in production). The fourth holds a post-doc position at a prestigious university. When asked what aspects of the IGERT project were beneficial in their work, a former IGERT Trainee wrote, “Working together with people outside the field (increasing cross-field communication skills, maintained collaborations even after graduating).” This comment illustrates the lasting impact of this program on participants.
