[WTI-trainee] Volunteer grad student/postdoc hosts for WTI faculty candidates

[Guerrero-Medina, Giovanna]

Hi,

We’re still looking for a few volunteers to help with hosting the WTI faculty candidates this week, Thursday & Friday March 24 & 25. The candidates will be interviewing in MCDB on March 24 and at the med school in March 25.

Your role would be to help take the faculty members through their meetings, participating in a student/postdoc lunch, and making them feel welcome by sharing insights about life and the science at Yale.

If interested, please respond with your availability, cell phone, T-shirt size, and program/department info.

Thanks!

Giovanna

Subject: Volunteer grad student/postdoc hosts for WTI faculty candidates
Hi everyone,

As you might have heard the Wu Tsai Institute is in the process of interviewing several candidates for WTI-affiliated faculty positions. We will be hosting two outstanding faculty candidates for an in-person visit next week, March 24-25—Drs. Emilia Favuzzi (microglial role in circuit development) and Brandon Weissbourd (evolutionary neuroscience using jellyfish). I’ve attached the abstracts of their recent online presentations.

We are in the process of recruiting 1-2 graduate students or postdocs to serve as hosts for the candidates. The role involves accompanying the candidates to their meetings at Yale, sharing info about life in New Haven and programs at Yale, potentially participating in a lunch/meal, and in general making them feel welcome. Volunteers will receive a WTI tshirt.

We are specifically looking for volunteers for the following dates/times:

  *   Dr. Favuzzi – March 25
  *   Dr. Weissbourd – March 24, all day or at least from 2-6:00 pm

If you are interested, please send me an email with your preferred candidate and date/time, and include your current stage (i.e. grad student or postdoc), program/department, and cell phone number.

If you are unavailable, don’t worry, there will be two more candidates visiting Yale at the beginning of April.

Thank you,

Giovanna
