DEI Mentoring Program for Postdoctoral Fellows

WMIS established a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee in 2021, aiming to attract and mentor trainees from underrepresented backgrounds in their career endeavors. We believe diversity and inclusivity are critical in maintaining creativity, driving innovation, and tackling healthcare challenges.

The goal of this training program is to develop a group of future leaders in molecular imaging science who will help maintain a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive molecular imaging community.

Eligibility

  1. The application is open to WMIS members from underrepresented backgrounds, regardless of geographical location. 

  2. Eligible trainees must hold a doctoral degree at the program’s start, with the degree conferred within the past 5 years.

  3. Applicants must demonstrate academic excellence and high potential for success in their chosen fields, not necessarily limited to Molecular Imaging, as supported by scholarly achievements and professional references.

Benefits for selected awardees include:

  • One-on-one career developmental mentoring with leading experts in molecular imaging.
  • Individualized WMIC abstract writing and presentation workshop.
  • Opportunities to participate in the WMIS DEI Grants/Trainee leadership committee.
