By Jennifer Judge, PhD - Regulatory Scientist at Cook MyoSite
It always seemed obvious to me as a graduate student at Â鶹ÊÓƵthat I should followed my passion for teaching and research and pursue a postdoctoral fellowship. Throughout graduate school, I was constantly pursuing activities that would strengthen my CV for an academic tract: applying for my own NIH fellowship and completing a teaching internship through URBEST. I figured that my postdoc would help me further decide the next path, whether that be a teaching-focused academic position or if my research goes well, a research-focused position. Either way, I knew that I wanted a faculty position someday.
