The Center Scientist position provides special mentorship experiences to an early stage investigator and includes a contribution to salary and benefits. The Center Scientist is expected to engage in research that addresses the goals of the M-LEEaD Center to define, explain, or mitigate impacts of environmental exposures during vulnerable stages of life. Center Scientists complete formal rotations with each of the core facility leaders (Exposure Assessment, Integrated Health Sciences, and Omics and Bioinformatics) and with the Community Outreach and Engagement Core (COEC), gaining breadth of expertise in environmental health sciences approaches and learning the crucial role of community engagement. Center Scientists also work with a core leader to plan and execute an M-LEEaD workshop or other training program. The M-LEEaD Career Development Program encourages Center Scientist participation in career development programs at MICHR, including the MICHR K award grant writing workshop. Center Scientists prepare short quarterly reports and meet regularly with the M-LEEaD Career Development Program leader. Through engagement in these activities, M-LEEaD Center Scientists are provided opportunities for advanced training in environmental statistics, omics-related bioinformatics, research integrity and certification, professional development for teaching and service, seminar presentations, and attendance at national meetings.
