The Saudi Research Science Institute (SRSI) is currently seeking to hire skilled tutors for summer 2019.

SRSI, a talent development program of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), is a holistic six-week summer internship experience for highly qualified grade 11 students in Saudi Arabia. Modeled after the internationally renowned MIT RSI, KAUST SRSI provides gifted young Saudis with the opportunity to engage in advanced STEM research in KAUST’s world-class facilities under the mentorship of internationally distinguished faculty and research scientists.

Working as an SRSI tutor is a truly unique and exciting opportunity. Tutors provide academic, research, and personal support to the grade 11 participants and provide vital assistance to the SRSI staff. Tutors reside on the beautiful KAUST campus, which is located on the Red Sea coast in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia (just one hour north of Jeddah). KAUST is an international community with members (students, staff, faculty, and families) from more than 105 countries around the world. Tutors will find themselves immersed in a culturally diverse and intellectually stimulating experience at KAUST.

SRSI tutors are typically graduate students, post-docs, research scientists, university professors and high school teachers, though the application is open to any person who qualifies. The summer 2019 SRSI program dates are June 14 – August 2, which includes a 3-day orientation/training for tutors and six weeks of program activities with the high school participants. The job description link includes details and benefits of the tutor position and the brochure link provides an overview of the SRSI program.

To apply, candidates may send a cover letter and resume toSRSI.TutorApplications@kaust.edu.sa. Nominations and questions can also be sent to this email address. We will begin reviewing applications on December 1, 2018 and continue until all positions are filled.

Clinical: Each student will be paired with an Emergency Medicine faculty preceptor as well as an Emergency Medicine resident preceptor whom he or she will shadow on various shifts throughout the fellowship. Students will be exposed to tremendous diversity in clinical pathology and patient populations by rotating through the different hospitals within our academic center, including our nationally ranked tertiary care center at NYU Langone Health, the country’s first public hospital at Bellevue, and NYU Brooklyn (a Level I Trauma Center and Stroke Center).

Project: Fellows will be paired with their Faculty Mentor who will advise them on their final scholarly project to be presented within the Emergency Medicine Department towards the culmination of their fellowship.

The UCLA Pediatric Residency Program

Program Description

The UCLA Department of Pediatrics Visiting Elective Scholarship Program (VESP) provides financial support to senior U.S. medical students who are traditionally underrepresented in medicine, and who are interested in applying to UCLA for a senior clinical elective. The goal of the program is to expose these traditionally underrepresented senior medical students from institutions outside of the Los Angeles region to an academic pediatrics program, and to promote student interest in applying to the Pediatrics Residency Training Program at UCLA.

Similar programs currently exist at UCSF, University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins, University of Washington and Harvard.

The scholarship program will provide the following support to accepted senior medical students:

• Financial support for travel, housing and living expenses, up to $2,000 for each recipient.
• A faculty mentor will be assigned to each scholarship awardee, with the expectation that the mentor and awardee will meet at least once during the course of the elective period to discuss residency training and other career opportunities at UCLA.
• The program will host a networking event for scholarship recipients to meet residents and faculty from the UCLA Department of Pediatrics.
• Additional meetings with UCLA faculty will be arranged at the request of the student. For example, students interested in Ph.D. training may wish to meet with Division Chairs in relevant areas of research.
