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. If you are interested in attending this workshop, please visit http://engr.washington.edu/onramp/mail-list.htm and fill out the mailing list request form. You will contacted at a later date about a simple application process. Eve Riskin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
