09/02/07 - Fellowship Opportunity
L'Oréal USA recently opened the application period for its esteemed L'Oréal USA Fellowships For Women in Science program. Now in its fifth year, this national program aims to annually recognize, reward and support five women postdoctoral researchers in the U.S. who are pursuing careers in the life and physical/material sciences, as well as mathematics, engineering and computer science. 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 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.
