| KPMG Coaching Starts Here! | ||||||
| Successful careers are built on extraordinary relationships. At KPMG, we value relationships and support on our teams. I am thrilled to offer you the opportunity to have a one-on-one session with one of our “KPMG Coaches” this semester. A one-on-one session with a "KPMG Coach" is a great way to help you learn about the profession, our firm, and help begin your career. Score some points during this 1:1 session by coming prepared to ask questions, stretch your skills, and acquire knowledge. Our “KPMG Coaches” will be audit, tax, and advisory professionals. This program is sure to be a TOUCHDOWN! The way we define and talk about the things that make us different helps to bring us together and ensures a strong, inclusive culture. Representation matters---in our communities and in our workplace. As such, the KPMG Coach program plays a vital role in providing a space for all students to ensure they too, are heard, and feel they belong.

Save the Date!
Dear UMBC Community Members,
On behalf of the University Steering Committee, we are writing to ask you to save Thursday, April 7 on your calendar for a Community Mental Health Action day. The USC will be working with partners across campus to host events both in person and online over the course of the day to promote mental health and community well-being. For now, we are writing to ask three things:
Please help make this day happen! If you have an idea for a workshop, class, conversation, or event that you would like to take the lead on, please email Susan McDonough at mcdonoug@umbc.edu. Alternatively, if you’re already programming an event that we can help advertise, let us know.
Please consider building this day into your syllabi and plans for the work day, perhaps with an assignment or readings that reflect the theme through the lens of your field, or perhaps with a study day to allow folks to participate throughout the day.
Join us on Apr 7, 2022!
We look forward to sharing more details in the coming weeks and hope that you’ll all participate in some way in this important day.
Sincerely,
Susan McDonough, Chair, University Steering Committee
Wendy Zhang, Vice-chair, University Steering Committee
he Molecular Targets Program (MTP) of the National Cancer Institute’s Center for Cancer Research (NCI’s CCR) has postdoctoral positions available in its Protein Chemistry and Molecular Biology Section (PCMBS). The PCMBS uses its expertise in protein chemistry, biophysics, enzymology, molecular biology and screening to adapt CCR basic science laboratory findings into high throughput, cell-free screens for the interrogation of pure compound and pre-fractionated natural product libraries. In addition, we use these same skills to discover and characterize novel bioactive proteins from natural product extracts that increase our knowledge of protein structure and function, address diseases and molecular targets of interest, and potentially lead to clinical development.
The position is for a researcher with published expertise in enzyme kinetics and in-vitro inhibitor/activator mechanism of action studies to develop and implement high-throughput assays for the discovery of biologically active synthetic and natural product-derived compounds. Applicants should highlight their experience in relevant methods of in-vitro enzymology in their introductory email. Previous experience in high throughput screening or natural products discovery is not required but will be prioritized in candidate evaluation.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in biochemistry, cell/molecular biology, pharmacognosy or a related discipline from an accredited research institution within the last three years. The fellowship duration is for a maximum of 5 years based on performance and yearly evaluations. The fellowship is not restricted to U.S. citizens. The fellowship stipend starts at a flat rare per annum and is determined based on qualifications and years of relevant experience. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV with bibliography, and three letters of reference to MTP_PostDoc@nih.gov.
