The Center for Biodiversity and Conservation at the American Museum of Natural History is accepting applications to attend the second annual Student Conference on Conservation Science- New York (SCCS-NY). SCCS is the only international conference designed for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early-career professionals pursuing or considering the field of conservation science. The conference provides a unique opportunity for those beginning their careers to present their work before leaders in science, policy, and management. In addition to formal presentations, SCCS-NY offers numerous opportunities to interact with senior-level conservation professionals at workshops, mentored lunches, informal gatherings, and networking events. Such interactions with established conservationists encourage collaboration, inspire new avenues of research, and launch lasting associations. Applicants wishing to present their work should have completed, or be conducting, a research project and will be selected based on the quality of their abstract as well as its relevance to conservation. Projects will be considered from any conservation-related course of study, including programs in the natural and social sciences and the humanities. APPLICATION DEADLINE: 25 April 2011
