I was a postbaccaluerate researcher for the NIH, and I had such an incredible experience! My principal investigator was such an excellent mentor, and really took the time to make sure I understood what I was getting myself into by pursuing a career in biomedical sciences! There are so many doors that opened for me after I completed my contract with the NIH that I will be reaping the benefits for years to come! Every single researcher I came into contact with wanted to help me, and not one person ever made me feel small. I am so proud to have worked for such an incredible agency!
The research performed at the NIH is groundbreaking. Since the funding is stable, there are many opportunities to answer any questions that you consider. Also, collaboration on the campus (and with other institutions) allows you to deal directly with experts from your field, or a new field that you have stumbled upon in the course of your research. I am a post-bac, and as a trainee, there are many opportunities to build your skill-set and find mentors through the OITE program.
Working at the NIH Clinical Center is an extremely rewarding job because you get to see the every day bench to bedside research being conducted at all levels of the chain. Teamwork and communication within diverse interdisciplinary teams has made working here a wonderful and collaborative experience. I wish the food options in the cafeteria were a little better, but that is about it.
