10 Fellows will be selected to carry out three-year STEM projects at eligible Washington state research institutions
SEATTLE, WA, USA, May 3, 2021
/EINPresswire.com/ -- Washington Research Foundation (WRF) is accepting applications for 10 three year
WRF Postdoctoral Fellowships at eligible research institutions in the state. This marks the program’s fifth annual recruitment.
WRF Postdoctoral Fellows are selected by an external committee to conduct original research projects addressing unmet public needs in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields, with preference given to those in the life sciences.
The new Fellows will receive salary, benefits and research expenses of up to $277,500 over three years, beginning in
2022.
"As a WRF Fellow, I have been able to meet and connect with a vast network of scientists working on
diverse areas of research in Washington state—a unique characteristic of every WRF cohort.”
Rossana Colón-Thillet, Ph.D.
The goal of the program, says Meher Antia, Ph.D., WRF's director of grant programs, is to enable postdoctoral
researchers to conduct innovative research that could have a significant real-world impact.
"We're excited to support our fifth cohort of creative
researchers at this pivotal stage in their careers. We want
our postdoctoral researchers to have the freedom to pursue avenues of research that will help
to establish themselves as independent scientists whose work will make a difference," said
Antia.
David Galas, Ph.D., has chaired the selection committee since the program's inaugural
recruitment in 2017. He is a WRF director and senior investigator at Pacific Northwest Research
Institute, internationally recognized as an expert in molecular biology and genetics.
"Applicants should be clear and bold in their proposals. We have to understand the need that
they are addressing, and the milestones that three years of funding could enable them to hit.
Washington has outstanding research in all STEM areas, so candidates should carefully consider
which institution and lab will provide the best support for their proposals," said Galas. "This is an
opportunity for postdocs to take a deep dive into areas of important scientific and public
interest."
Rossana Colón-Thillet, Ph.D., is a member of the 2020 cohort carrying out her fellowship in the
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center lab of Keith Jerome, MD, Ph.D. Colón-Thillet is
investigating a potential cure for hepatitis B virus (HBV), the cause of fatal diseases including
cirrhosis and cancer of the liver, and carried by more than 250 million people globally. Although
vaccines for HBV have been used in the United States since the 1980s, there is no cure for
patients already infected.
“The WRF fellowship gave me the security to dive into an exciting and risky new area of research
in the Jerome lab. As a WRF Fellow, I have been able to meet and connect with a vast network of
scientists working on diverse areas of research in Washington state—a unique characteristic of
every WRF cohort. Throughout 2020, a difficult year for all of us, WRF has been there to provide
support and facilitate the career development of their postdocs,” said Colón-Thillet.
The deadline for applications is June 27, 2021, with information sessions being held on May 14
and June 8.
About Washington Research Foundation:

Due to the pace of serials cost inflation and to prepare for the possibility of a flat or decreased budget for collections in the 2021-22 fiscal year, the University of Washington Libraries is planning to cancel some journals and other subscriptions. The Health Sciences Library invites your feedback May 3rd through May 31st, 2021. Please see the Health Sciences Library Collections Feedback guide for more information and to tell us which journal subscriptions are essential to your education and work.
This list of journal titles is not a short-list of titles tagged for cutting: being on the list does not mean that a journal is at an increased risk of being cut. The Health Sciences Library Collections Team decided to list the health sciences journals that aren’t part of packages so that we could gather feedback on them to include in the decision-making process. We want to keep the cuts as low-impact as possible. By letting us know which ones are important to your education and research, you’re helping us prioritize the ones that are used by the UW health sciences community.

In response to the violence that the AAPI community has been experiencing lately and to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, APIAFSA, faculty from the UW and greater community are organizing a forum to celebrate resiliency. Following the event, we would like to host a APIAFSA community debrief space for us on Monday 5/24 from 12:00-1:30PM. Because the event on Saturday is open to the greater community, we would still like to host a space just for APIAFSA members to converse and build community. We won’t necessarily have an agenda, but hope it can be an open and organic space for conversation. Here is the Zoom link for the open space.

Friday, May 7th | 5-7PM PT
REGISTER HERE: https://bit.ly/PISA-PCW
Presenters: Makerusa Porotesano, Kevin Aipopo, Heifara Matutau, Trina Sound, Destiny Spicer-Orak
Event Description: Why is Climate Justice important to Pacific Islanders? Especially in the US and folx in the diaspora. A lot of students in the diaspora (born outside the islands) might feel a disconnect to movements happening in Oceania, but the call to save our islands needs us more than ever. Learn how our Pacific Islander Climate Justice works, who's involved and how this can be the movement that connects our identities, history and relationship climate justice.
Our local PDX team will lead the first part of the workshop and then we will include our members of our global team to share why this work is important on the islands and why they need us in the US.

WHICH BOX DID YOU CHECK?
Friday, May 14th | 5-7PM PT
REGISTER HERE: http://bit.ly/PISA-box
Presenter: Jhustin Custodio
Event Description: A study showed that 48% of Filipinos identify as Pacific Islanders over Asian. For many while filling out applications or the census, an identity ambiguity occurs that leads to the possibility of an unintentional, but problematic erasure of Pasifika Community centered issues and stories. What is the history that this ambiguity stems from? What exactly is the root problem? And what are some ways, regardless of the box we check, to rise against oppressors who benefit from this confusion?

Hello MPH students!
University District Street Medicine (UDSM) will be transitioning leadership this quarter. The leadership term will last from end of Spring quarter 2021 to end of Spring quarter 2022 and previous volunteer experience with UDSM is not required.
We have one position that would especially benefit from having the resource connection and public health focus of social work students with the OneHealth Clinic.
In this role, you would be the UDSM Outreach Manager at the OneHealth clinic. You would attend bi-monthly outreaches (typically Wednesdays), coordinate with faculty and leadership from the Onehealth clinic, and help to familiarize volunteers with the workflow of the clinic. With UDSM, you would coordinate with other leadership and attend (or watch recorded) monthly meetings. The time commitment for this role is approximately 5-10 hours per week.
To learn more about UDSM visit: https://udstreetmed.weebly.com
To learn more about OneHealth visit: https://deohs.washington.edu/cohr/one-health-clinic
Please email me directly if you are interested in the role or have any questions at mmossar@uw.edu.
We need your help. We are inviting your students to participate in our effort to collect data on mask adherence this summer (June-September). To enhance surveillance of masking and social distancing behaviors, our Kaiser Permanente research team has developed a data collection tool and protocol called Systematic Observation of mask Adherence and Distancing (SOMAD). We are hoping you and your students will join this national collaborative effort and disseminate these findings broadly.
Conducting field observations is an excellent opportunity for students to get hands-on experience in addressing an urgent public health problem. We will share our protocol, data collection tool and offer data collection training. In addition, we will send you summaries of data collected elsewhere, so you can benchmark your community's results against others. Lastly, we will host monthly collaboration meetings for all sites to compare data collecting strategies
Although vaccines are becoming more available, the risk of transmission is greater than ever, particularly with new variants. Face coverings and physical distancing are vital components of the ongoing strategy to control the spread of COVID-19. It has been estimated that at least 80% compliance is needed to reduce the spread of disease and associated mortality. We believe that this collaborative effort will be critical to local health departments, elected officials, and residents to better inform efforts in controlling the pandemic.
Please let us know if you are interested joining us. All our tools and preliminary data are posted on our website https://www.kp-scalresearch.org/somad/
Thank you for your consideration.

The Inclusive Leadership Conference invites attendees to learn how we can think about leadership in new and different ways. Our speakers will teach you tools to use in the workplace to be a more inclusive leader, especially for trans and queer people, Black, Indigenous, people of color, women and people with disabilities.
The Conference is open to all who want to grow as more inclusive leaders. A leader is someone who positively influences a group toward an inspiring vision or goal: no title, or position is necessary to make a difference. Collectively, we need to expand our idea of who and what a leader is and should be. No cost to attend for city of Madison & Public Health Madison Dane County Employees. Non-city employees: $50 per day or $150 for the four-day conference series.
The city of Madison involved those who are most impacted by exclusionary practices in the decision making for this conference. Learn more about this event.
