Workshop "On-ramps to Academia"

Category: ADVANCE • academic adventures • women in science
Posted on: November 13, 2008 9:40 PM, by SciWo

The University of Washington's ADVANCE Center for Institutional Change received an award this year from the National Science Foundation ADVANCE program to hold professional development workshops for Ph.D.-level women in industry, research labs, consulting, or national labs who are interested in transitioning to academic careers in STEM. The first workshop will be held October 19 and 20, 2009.
This workshop will be very helpful to women interested in making the
transition to academia. The workshop speakers will primarily be
successful women faculty members who began their post-Ph.D. careers in
industry, research labs, consulting, or national labs. The attendees,
speakers, and workshop organizers will form a community who can
support each other during the job application period, the interview
process, the startup negotiations, and the first years in academia.
The workshops will be limited to 30 participants.

simple application process.
