Dear PWN Members,

And here are a few professional opportunities:

1. The BRAINS Program: To encourage greater diversity within neuroscience-related fields, in 2011 we created BRAINS: Broadening the Representation of Academic Investigators in NeuroScience, a national program to accelerate and improve the career advancement of neuroscience postdoctoral researchers and assistant professors from underrepresented groups. The program, funded by a R25 grant from NIH's National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), creates unique, life-transforming experiences for participants. The BRAINS program goal is to increase engagement and retention of academic early-career neuroscientists from underrepresented groups by reducing isolation, providing tips, tools, and skills development to prepare for tenure track success, and increasing career self-efficacy. To achieve this goal, the program offers two participant pathways: BRAINS Fellows and BRAINS Affiliates. Here is a link for more info: http://depts.washington.edu/brains/program.html

2. The Day Lab at UAB is looking for a lab manager:
