University of Maryland, College Park
October 8-10, 2003
Deadline: July 1, 2003
A workshop on Women
of Applied Mathematics: Research and Leadership will
be held October 8-10, 2003 at the University of Maryland at College
Park. The workshop, consisting of research symposia and career
development panel discussions, will provide a technical and professional
forum for ten senior women and twenty-five early-career women (approx.
5-12 years past Ph.D.) in applied mathematics.
The workshop has two objectives:
- To provide advice and guidance to women who are a few years past
the postdoctoral stage and are now facing new challenges as they
transition to positions beyond entry-level.
- To provide networking among applied mathematicians who have
become, or are striving to become, leaders in their fields.
We are soliciting applications from early-career women in applied
mathematics to attend the workshop. Participants will receive travel
expenses. After the workshop, early-career participants are expected to
lead an activity promoting women in mathematics and submit a report
detailing that activity. Early-career is roughly defined as several years past
the postdoctoral stage, at the point where one is nearing or just past
promotion and facing an increase in leadership responsibilities (e.g.,
leading research teams, being PI or co-PI on large proposals, and/or
pursuing opportunities in management or administration). Roughly
speaking, applicants in this category would be 5-12 years past the Ph.D.
Application instructions are available on the web site listed below,
and applications received by July 1, 2003 will receive full consideration.
