Now in its fifth year, the L’ORÉAL USA Fellowships for Women in Science program announces the 2008 call for applications.
Since its launch in May of 2003, the U.S. Fellowship program, which complements the company’s international L’ORÉAL-UNESCO For Women in Science program has recognized and rewarded exceptionally talented young women engaged in breakthrough scientific research.
As part of its commitment to further help women scientists achieve their goals, L’Oréal USA awards each recipient $40,000 to apply toward their postdoctoral research. The L’ORÉAL USA Fellowships for Women in Science are awarded to women engaged in basic research in the life and physical/material sciences, technology (including computer science), engineering and mathematics.
The five beneficiaries of the 2008 L’Oréal USA Fellowships For Women in Science will be invited to attend a week of events in New York City that include an awards ceremony, professional development workshops, media training and networking opportunities. In 2008 these workshops, which are facilitated by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), will encompass job search techniques, interviewing skills, budget development for grant requests and strategies for peer reviewed publication.
The L’Oréal USA Fellowships For Women in Science program is open to women postdoctoral researchers only. Candidates interested in applying may visit the L’Oréal USA Fellowships For Women in Science web site at http://www.lorealusa.com/forwomeninscience, to obtain more information about program eligibility and requirements.
All applications must be post marked by October 31, 2007
