Teaching @ Partner Institutions
Postdoctoral Fellows in the Minnesota IRACDA program receive teaching mentorship and experience at our esteemed partner institutions: North Hennepin Community College and Normandale Community College. These colleges are located within the greater Twin Cities metro area and serve a diverse population of students that includes many under-represented minorities within the STEM fields.
IRACDA postdocs split their time during their program as 75% research and 25% teaching.
