The Office of Education & Training (OET) is seeking a Scientific Curriculum Advisor to help develop curriculum and provide instruction for the new Fred Hutch Post-Baccalaureate Scholar Program.

The new Fred Hutch Postbaccalaureate Scholar Program is for individuals who recently completed undergraduate degrees and would benefit from research experience and training to successfully matriculate and complete a PhD program. The program will expand Fred Hutch’s pool of researcher talent and provide postbaccalaureate scholars with rigorous research experience and career development training to strengthen the skills needed for a successful research career. It will more broadly support those individuals from groups historically excluded in science by providing training that may have previously been unavailable or limited – helping ensure that scholars are competitive when applying to graduate school.

This position reports to the Post-Baccalaureate Scholar Program Faculty Director with accountability to the Associate Vice President of Science Education, and the OET Assistant Director, and will collaborate with the Post-Baccalaureate Scholar Program Steering Committee, on the initial curriculum development of the program.
