On-Ramps to Academia

i-f875c0b07d9b3cb6229668554781b35a-alice.jpgAre you a person in industry who is thinking about a transfer into academia? This ADVANCE-sponsored program might be something you're interested in:

Our first annual On-Ramps into Academia Workshop will take place this October 18-20th, 2009 in Seattle, Washington. The purpose of this workshop is to assist women currently working in industry to transition into positions in academia. As part of the resources we will provide to On-Ramps participants, we are planning on building out a list of open faculty positions in STEM departments. If there are any open positions at your college or university, we would love to be able to share it on our site. We are looking for posted listings (i.e., web addresses, not attachments) and they will be shared via a web page and RSS feed.

If you would like to have your open positions listed on our website, please send the following information to khofmeis@uw.edu or advcic@uw.edu:
· Institution
· Hiring Department
· Link to position listing

We will continually update the site, so if you have none to share with us right now, feel free to pass along any that may come up in the future.

Our On-Ramps into Academia web site can be found at www.engr.washington.edu/onramp . The position listings feature has not gone live at this time but check back for updates!
