Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education & the Professoriate The Initiative to Maximize Students Development goal is to increase the number of underrepresented

The Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (NEAGEP) is one of 26 NSF-funded Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) programs in the US. The goal of the NEAGEP is to increase the number of domestic students receiving doctoral degrees and entering the professoriate in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). We are particularly int

erested in recruiting, supporting and mentoring students of those population groups underrepresented in STEM fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders). The University of Massachusetts has been designated by the National Science Foundation as the lead university in NEAGEP. Member campuses are:

- UMass Amherst
- Boston University
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Pennsylvania State University
- Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey
- University of Connecticut
- University of Maine
- University of New Hampshire
- University of Rhode Island
- University of Vermont

Ph.D. students should seek out mentors and begin thinking about their career options early, some experts suggest. Having conversations with professionals who are more advanced in their careers can help students determine the field they want to pursue, they advise.

Postdoctoral Fellow Awarded $138,000 NSF Grant for Cell Biophysics Research
Joelle Labastide, a postdoctoral fellow in physics, has been awarded $138,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) fellowship to examine the dynamics of “cargo transport,” the act of carrying organelles, proteins and other material around inside the cell.
She seeks to uncover how kinesin-1 motor proteins can get around and through the crowded and complex architecture of the cell interior. She will perform the work in the lab of physics professor Jennifer Ross.
Labastide proposes to use her training in the physical chemistry of solid state and polymeric materials and novel super-resolution microscopy in the research.
As part of the two-year grant, Labastide will build a novel polarization microscope to track the 3D location and orientation of solid-state artificial “cargos” being transported in a manmade cytoskeletal network.
Labastide holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering and a doctorate in chemistry, both from UMass Amherst.
She is a founding member of the Graduate Women in STEM (GWIS) group, and is the editor of its magazine.
Dr. Labastide Is a NEAGEP alumna.
