The UC San Diego Program for Career Development in Glycosciences has been designed to provide a comprehensive and well-rounded training in glycoscience. The duration of the program is 1–3 years depending on prior experience. The program has the following general components:
Individual Development Plan: Each scholar will formalize an Individual Development Plan (IDP) in collaboration with their Faculty Mentors to define their professional/career objective(s). The IDP will be reviewed annually to revise goals as needed and ensure the scholar's research and education plan are on track.
Ongoing Mentored Research Project: Under the direction of the Faculty Mentor, the Scholar will work on a research project in the Mentor's laboratory.
Achievement of Scientific Literacy & Competence in Glycoscience: Scholars will participate in hands-on and didactic coursework. Optional courses in career development skills are also provided.
Networking & Communication: Scholars will have the opportunity to interact with eminent scientists in the field and to exchange information with other scholars through local meetings and national conferences.
