CUNY’s Women of Science

jdegezelle — Tue, 11 May 2010 22:06:34 +0000

Check out the article on Women of Science from CUNY Newswire

“The inspiration [CUNY female science professors] provide to the University, with its 60 percent female student body, is clear. In an effort to spread the word about these faculty members and their ongoing, important work in labs and with accomplished students year-round at all CUNY colleges, the University is spotlighting its women scientists on its web pages and on posters headlined “Breaking Boundaries in Science Research.””

Research Associateship Opportunities through the National Research Council

jdegezelle — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 22:57:42 +0000

The National Research Council of the National Academies has announced the 2010 Research Associateship Programs to be conducted on behalf of U.S. federal research laboratories and affiliated institutions at over 100 locations throughout the U.S. (including NIH, EPA, NOAA, NETL and many others). The programs provide opportunities for Graduate, Ph.D., Sc.D., or M.D. scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability to perform research on problems largely of their own choosing, yet compatible with the research interests of the sponsoring institutions.

Contact with the research adviser/mentor at the proposed sponsoring laboratory, including discussion of the proposed project, is necessary prior to submitting a formal application to the NRC. Detailed program information and instructions on how to apply online is available at: www.national-academies.org/rap

Annual application deadlines are February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1.
