ImmunoX Mentoring Program for Postdocs

Pair postdoctoral fellows with ImmunoX faculty (beyond that of their lab’s PI) for career mentoring.
In scheduled 1:1 meetings, mentors will provide advice on research projects, letters of support for grant proposals, and guidance on job searches.
To further connect with the community, mentors will help connect mentees with appropriate opportunities in ImmunoX, such as in various CoLabs, IgEquity, ImmunoDiverse, or ICI grants.
Participation in this program is entirely optional but is strongly encouraged for all ImmunoX postdocs.
Participation is required for postdoctoral recipients of the ImmunoX T32.

Once registered as a member of the program, mentees will contact their assigned mentor.
Goal is that mentees schedule at least one meeting a year with their mentor. More meetings are encouraged if deemed helpful and workable with both parties’ schedules.
If arranged over lunch, expense will be reimbursed by the ImmunoX program (within the limits of UCSF lunch reimbursement policy).
It is strongly encouraged that participating postdocs complete an IDP after their first meeting and update annually after that.
Participation is required for postdoctoral recipients of the ImmunoX T32.
