General Description

Johns Hopkins University is selecting its seventh class of PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, to be inducted into the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society. JHU was inducted as an institutional member of the national Bouchet Honor Society in April 2018. Named for the first African American in the United States to receive a PhD, the Edward A. Bouchet Graduate Honor Society seeks to develop a network of pre-eminent scholars who exemplify academic and personal excellence, foster environments of support, and serve as examples of scholarship, leadership, character, service, and advocacy for students and trainees who traditionally have been underrepresented in higher education. It was co-founded in 2005 by Yale University--where Bouchet, a physicist and educator, earned his doctorate in 1876--and Howard University to recognize and continue Bouchet's pioneering contributions to doctoral education.

Each year ten honorees are selected for induction into the Johns Hopkins University chapter of the Bouchet Graduate Honor Society. 

Qualifications

PhD students: All PhD students must have advanced to Candidacy (also called All But Dissertation) by January 1, 2025 to be eligible to nominate themselves for consideration as 2025 inductees.

Postdoctoral Fellows: Postdoctoral research fellows who currently are JHU postdocs or whose JHU postdoctoral appointment will start no later than January 1, 2025 are eligible to apply.  Residents and subspecialty clinical fellows in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education ("ACGME")-accredited or ACGME-equivalent programs are not eligible.

Johns Hopkins University strongly encourages, but no longer requires, at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine does not apply to positions located in the State of Florida. We still require all faculty, staff, and students to receive the seasonal flu vaccine. Exceptions to the COVID and flu vaccine requirements may be provided to individuals for religious beliefs or medical reasons. Requests for an exception must be submitted to the JHU vaccination registry. This change does not apply to the School of Medicine (SOM). SOM hires must be fully vaccinated with an FDA COVID-19 vaccination and provide proof of vaccination status. For additional information, applicants for SOM positions should visit https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccine/ and all other JHU applicants should visit https://covidinfo.jhu.edu/health-safety/covid-vaccination-information/.

The following additional provisions may apply, depending upon campus. Your recruiter will advise accordingly. The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
