[Allgsacstudents] FW: Genentech Postdoc Program: Now Hiring!

[allgsacstudents at lists.ucr.edu]

We are excited to announce that Genentech’s world-class biomedical research organization is launching a new set of postdoc openings<http://bit.ly/GenentechPostdoc2020> aimed at identifying top scientific talent, independent of a specific job posting for a given Genentech scientist’s lab. Applicants are provided the freedom to select three potential Genentech postdoc mentors that they are most interested in working with in order to propel the next stage of their scientific career.

Our existing postdoc hiring process will also continue, wherein students can apply for specific openings<http://bit.ly/GenentechPostdocOpenings>, however this new approach enables students to apply for a postdoc position in any Genentech postdoc mentor’s lab<http://www.bit.ly/GenentechPostdocMentors>. Applications for this new postdoc hiring initiative are due by Monday October 19, 2020 at 6:00pm (PDT). We plan to offer this type of postdoc opportunity during a limited timeframe on an annual basis.
