Are you passionate about access to education and careers in health and science? Are you someone proactive, with a strong work ethic? Do you want to join a team where you will be supported to grow your skills and make important contributions? Then you’re a perfect fit for our team!
The Yale Ciencia Initiative is dedicated to fighting for the next generation of scientists and physicians from underrepresented groups while creating a work environment that inspires creativity and cultivates collegial support.
We seek a responsible, committed, and detailed-oriented Program Coordinator to support several scientist-training initiatives for a national audience of students. Projects include the Yale Ciencia Academy (YCA)—an NIH-funded project that provides online and in-person professional development, mentoring, and outreach opportunities to life science PhD students across the US—and the Yale-University of Puerto Rico MD-PhD Cooperative Program.
Key responsibilities include assistance with onboarding participants, faculty, and speakers; drafting project communications for various stakeholders; coordinating online and in-person events; maintaining database and contact data for past, current, and future participants; proofreading and editorial support for print and web-based media; using project management and collaboration software to coordinate timelines among staff, collaborators, and participants, and other tasks as needed. In addition, this position will provide administrative support to the Yale Ciencia Initiative Director and her programs, including coordinating and scheduling meetings and appointments, arranging travel, processing invoices and reimbursements, and other support as needed.
This job might be of interest to (but not limited to):
- Current registrars, training and/or other program or project coordinators
- Recent bachelors or masters grads interested in getting a start in program/project coordination and management
- Current Admin Assistants looking to make a career move into program/project coordination and management
The Yale Ciencia Initiative is an effort within the School of Medicine’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
By definition, phantasmagoria means “a bizarre or fantastic combination, collection, or assemblage.” At City Gallery, it means an exciting and dreamlike exhibition of works by Ruth Sack. Her show PHANTASMAGORIA: ART TO AMUSE AND AMAZE will be on view from February 4 - February 27, with a chance to Meet the Artist on Saturday, February 5 and Sunday. February 6, both days from 1pm - 4 pm.
Color is clearly a driving force behind Sack’s work — evocative bright colors, illuminated fluorescents — and she pushes the limits of the materials she uses to give identity to her constructions. “I am drawn to painting with encaustic for its versatility,” she explains. “It has magical abilities; being translucent, activated by heat, it can be cast, and can adhere to any surface while being able to embed things into it. It’s a very process-driven medium, like cooking but better.”
You may remember Sack’s postural sculptures that she used as pictureforms to spell out messages. She also created prints from layers of colors reminiscent of personal experiences. For this exhibit, she has combined the two techniques to build sculptures arrayed in the patterns of memories. The results are dreamlike and playful sculptures that she calls Phantasms.
Her inspiration? “I once slid down the tongue of a giant monster and emerged exultant,” she says. “The monster was a play structure by Niki de Sainte Phalle called Golem. The sculptures in this exhibit are inspired by Saint Phalle in pursuit of that excitement. I am as thrilled moving through a gigantic sculpture as I am when making a piece of art that delights me. These are the sort of feelings that have been quashed by the pandemic. These are the sort of feelings that art can restore.”
Sack received a BA from Brandeis University in art in 1975, and spent a year learning how to draw and think like an artist at the New York Studio School. In 1979, she received her MFA in sculpture from City University of New York, Queens College. She learned graphic design at the California College of Arts and Crafts and continued to create art while running her own graphic design studio for nearly 30 years. She lives in Cheshire, Connecticut with her husband David. She enjoys the artistic environment of New Haven and regularly teaches and exhibits her work there. She is a member of New England Wax, the New Haven Paint and Clay Club, and City Gallery.
Treat yourself to this exuberant and whimsical exhibit! It’s free and open to the public, and runs February 4 - February 27, with a chance to Meet the Artist on Saturday, February 5 and Sunday. February 6, both days from 1pm - 4 pm. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday, 1pm - 4 pm, or by appointment. Private viewings can also be arranged with the artist by emailing RuthSackArtist@gmail.com. During regular hours, visitors are required to wear a mask and observe social distancing protocols. For the reception, proof of vaccination will be required for entry, and masks are required. For further information please contact City Gallery, info@city-gallery.org, www.city-gallery.org.

City Gallery members Meg Bloom, Phyllis Crowley, Roberta Friedman, and Kathy Kane come together in January to present CONFLUENCE, individual works created over the past many months in isolation. The show will run from January 7 - January 30, with a chance to Meet the Artists on Sunday, January 9, 1pm - 4 pm
“It is a convergence of our separate visual imagery, presented in one small space, without attempting to come together to make a singular statement,” says artist Meg Bloom. Bloom is a sculptor, installation and mixed media artist currently making handmade paper and working with abaca and kozo fibers. Her abstract art references nature, whether human or otherwise, often addressing broader social and environmental issues. But it is finding beauty in the imperfect, acknowledging moments of change and engaging with the process of transformation that form the basis of her work.
For photographer Phyllis Crowley, confluence is about combining images, collaging ideas and associations, and considering distortions to help her bring together an emotional experience. “Combining images has been an interest of mine for a long time,” she says. “In the darkroom days, I cut out prints and collaged them, hoping to find a way to join them successfully. Now with digital tools, I am free to combine in any way I can imagine, creating a more powerful image, allowing for the development of new ideas and associations. Another major feature of my work is an interest in the distortions that water, weather or any obscuring interface can provide. I use methods like abstraction, multiple images, and change of format to create new relationships that bring myself and the viewer closer to the original emotional experience.”
Artist Roberta Friedman’s recent work focuses on process and how working in a confined or limited space changes how we create. “With the intention of exploring the paths that a long narrow surface would take me on, I set out to delve into the confluence of that shape and the encaustic mono prints that emerged on rolls of Asian papers, or on thin tissue papers. The spontaneity of the printing process on a hot surface, the vibrancy of encaustic wax paints, and the richness of oil pigments and cold wax have resulted in a cacophony of color and expression. Exposing or obliterating aspects of design and pigments are a challenge that complement and enhance the vision: a confluence.”
“The power of the paint and its randomness is what most intrigues me,” says artist Kathy Kane. “Watching how it reacts as I manipulate it with whatever comes to hand: fingers, squeegees, chopsticks, any unconventional tool and occasionally brushes. ” Her series of Kimonos — painted and collaged, assembled and completed in situ — represent a visceral process. “It was instinctive, unreasoning and most enjoyable,” she says of her immersion into the creation and culture of this traditional garment during the past two years.
The exhibit is free and open to the public, and runs January 7 - January 30, with a chance to Meet the Artists on Sunday, January 9, 1pm - 4 pm. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Gallery hours are Friday - Sunday, 1pm - 4 pm, or by appointment. During regular hours, visitors are required to wear a mask and observe social distancing protocols. For the reception, proof of vaccination will be required for entry, and masks are required.
