In this year's Division 20 Graduate Student Conversation Hour at APA in Boston, we have the pleasure to welcome two very esteemed colleagues to give presentations on career development options and on funding pre- and post- doctoral work, Dr. Margie Lachman and Dr. Jonathan King.
Dr. Margie Lachman is the current Chair of the Psychology Department, and Director of the Lifespan Developmental Psychology Lab at Brandeis University. She is co-director of the NIH-funded pre- and postdoctoral training program, Cognitive Aging in a Social Context.
Dr. Jonathan King is the Program Director of the Cognitive Aging portfolio in the Behavioral and Social Research program at NIA. He also previously led review meetings of pre- and post-doctoral fellowship applications at the Center for Scientific Review at NIH. In his presentation, he will be discussing the application process for F31 (predoctoral), F32 (postdoctoral), and early career K awards. He will also provide tips on how to craft winning applications. Students are recommended to bring their mentors along as many parts of fellowship/career award applications depend on mentor or sponsor input.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the Graduate Student Conversation Hour and the Social Hour!
Starlette Sinclair, Graduate Student Representative and Daniela Jopp, Post-Doc Representative.
