TIBBS TIMES (click for main page) | September 2010 | Page 2 Pioneering Postdoc Programs Your postdoctoral training period is the ideal time to hone your skills and get needed experience that will make you the perfect candidate for the career of your choice. Where on Campus is That?? If you’re one of the first ten PhD students to correctly identify the location of this picture on UNC campus you’ll get a free king size candy bar! Email your guesses to [email protected]. Good luck! There are many unique postdoc programs that train fellows in a variety of indemand skills and these training opportunities are often shorter and more structured than the traditional academic postdoc. They teach a specific skill set and can be a fast track to a “real job” afterwards. Each month in the TIBBS Times we’ll highlight a different fellowship opportunity. This month’s spotlight is on Genentech’s prestigious industry postdoc program. Click here for past contest photos and a list of winners Genentech Industry Postdoctoral Program Genentech’s Postdoctoral Program has become one of the highest regarded (and most selective) industry postdoc programs in the world. As a Genentech Postdoctoral Research Fellow working in either Research or Development Sciences, you would find yourself collaborating with world-class scientists both at the company and beyond Genentech's walls. The fellowships typically last four years and offer the chance to do cutting-edge research in an inspired, purposeful, and resource-rich environment. The program offers an unrivaled opportunity to put yourself at the forefront of science.

Networking Sesion: 6:30pm – 8:30pm at Top of the Hill restaurant & Brewery, Tank Room (2nd floor). Dr. Stephen Frye, Director of the CICBDD, will be discussing the goals and ongoing efforts of the CICBDD and the ways that these efforts are helping to position UNC to complete the cycle from basic scientific research through translational drug discovery to clinical studies. Dr. Frye received his B.S. in chemistry from NC State and then his Ph.D. in organic chemistry at UNC before beginning his career at GSK as a medicinal chemist. In 2000, Dr. Frye was selected to lead GSK’s High Throughput Chemistry Group that evolved into Discovery Medicinal Chemistry. Dr. Jian Jin, Associate Director of the CICBDD, will also be present to discuss his ‘open source’ approach to discovery of chemical probes for epigenetic targets. Prior to joining the CICBDD in 2008, Dr. Jin had more than 10 years of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery experience at GSK, where he most recently served as a Manager of Medicinal Chemistry from 2003 to 2008. Dr. Jin is currently using his expertise in medicinal chemistry to further collaborative projects with other UNC faculty that have discovered novel therapeutic targets.

One way or the other, all of these stories are about women looking love in the face without flinching. Some of them are confronting the reality of domestic disruption, others are simply flirting with the possibilities—and dangers—of change. McCorkle's characters make mistakes but aren't interested in hiding behind them. They get divorced or quit their jobs or tell people to step aside, and they move on.
