Guest Scientist (Local Volunteer)

We’d like to invite you to join us as a Guest Scientist (volunteer) at Aptagen. You’re welcome to visit onsite at your convenience on Thursdays between approximately 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM for informal, collegial discussions around grant applications and potential funding opportunities. If you’re interested, we’d be happy to incorporate your salary into the budget of future proposals—we are continually submitting grants and would value your expertise.

In addition to these discussions, Thursdays often include opportunities to network with other guest scientists, fostering cross-pollination of ideas, collaborative research projects, and potential opportunities both within and beyond Aptagen. If you’re interested, you could also mentor our college and high school interns, which many find to be a rewarding experience.

You’re also warmly invited to attend our Friday Journal Club meetings and student-led Competency sessions (which include a pizza break!). These are great opportunities to observe, mentor, or simply engage with our vibrant learning community. You can view the schedule here: https://www.aptagen.com/apprenticeship-opportunity/

Please let me know if this opportunity aligns with your interests—even if only on a temporary basis. We’d love to have you involved.
