Are you a PSYC major considering graduate school? Perhaps you are considering a research post-bacc opportunity, but don’t know how to get started?

Attend this informal Career Chat to learn from Isabel! Read more about her background and what she plans on sharing during the session below.

Isabel Wilder '22 PSYC | UMD Doctoral Student, Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (NACS) Program & Former Intramural Research Training Award (IRTA) Post-Baccalaureate Fellow at National Institute of Health, NIMH.

I am a proud Terp alum who led a somewhat untraditional path through college. I transferred schools, became a parent, and switched gears career-wise. With enormous support and encouragement, I graduated summa cum laude and began a full-time position at NIH as a postbaccalaureate research fellow.

I am thrilled to have returned to UMD this fall as a Flagship Fellow in the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (NACS) doctoral program, where I am currently doing research on sleep and memory in childhood in the Neurocognitive Development Lab.

As I am relatively fresh out of the application process myself, I’m eager to provide support to others interested in graduate school and share my experiences.
