Application Overview

Participants will be selected via an application process. Space is limited, and we want to make sure that all participants fit the profile of our target audience:

PhD-level women working as scientists or engineers in industry, government labs, etc., who are interested into transitioning into tenured or tenure-track jobs in academia.

Consideration will be given to women engineers and scientists who have earned their Ph.D. degrees and are currently working in industry, consulting, research laboratories and/or national laboratories. Preference will be given to minority applicants, to those interested in pursuing academic leadership positions, and to those whose career trajectory makes them prime candidates for future academic leadership positions.

Please note, this workshop is NOT designed for research faculty, PhD students, graduate students, or post-docs on university campuses.
