Postdoctoral and PhD

The BNERC has a targeted plan to recruit 13 graduate students, with a strong emphasis on drawing from outreach efforts and tribal colleges to promote a diverse cohort. To effectively prepare these students for future careers in academia or industry, they will be guided to create and follow individual development plans (IDP). These plans will help them set clear professional goals and systematically improve their competencies. The program will also offer a series of workshops focused on professional and "soft skills," covering essential topics such as emotional intelligence, networking, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and scientific integrity.
