Great funding opportunity

🌟 Summer Plans: Exploring the Diverse Paths to Invention! 🌟 This summer, I'll participate in the "Exploring the Diverse Paths to Invention" program from the Coleridge Initiative and the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES). I’m thrilled to take a deep dive into innovation data, exploring the diversity of the PhD workforce and their economic and creative contributions and patents. #workforcedevelopment #SciencePolicy #DataAnalytics Looking forward to gaining new insights and contributing to this important research! 🚀

What's A Postdoc? Meet Daniel Vallejo, Ph.D., a postdoctoral scholar at Georgia Institute of Technology. What should the world know about postdocs?! "That we aren't students or trainees, but academic professionals driving the research at academic institutions."

Did you know 💡 postdocs at Cambridge, being staff members, have access to services and resources provided by the University. We have a guide on our website so you can see these listed in one place: https://lnkd.in/d8A398j2. Have you interacted with any University services or made use of any resources yet? Let us know in the comments ⬇️ #UniversityofCambridge #Cambridge #Postdocs

In this session, Sarah Hokanson, Ph.D. (Boston University, Postdoc Academy), will provide a framework for postdocs to use when preparing for different types of feedback conversations with supervisors and/or mentors💬Postdocs will also reflect on ways to receive and take action on feedback effectively.

The biggest concern facing PhD students leaving academia is not knowing what industry is like. Here, we interview Ashley Ruba, PhD who is helping 70.000+ academics and #PhD students transition to non-academic careers.  In the episodes, Suzanne van Wouw and I talk with Ashley about: ✅ The challenges academics face when transitioning ✅ The stigma around non-academic careers ✅ and the misconceptions that often hold back PhD professionals.

I haven't posted on social media platforms in a while, but I'd like to share some end of year reflections and news. This is not meant to sound like one of those grandeous LinkedIn announcements that may make somebody less lucky or privileged feel uncomfortable or anxious (trust me, I've been there). This year has been one of the most challenging ones for me, personally and professionally. Yet, the end of year balance is definitely a positive and fulfilling one. While I hold my first baby in my arms, I am happy to share that I'll be starting as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computational Science (a joint appointment in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Computational Science Research Center) at San Diego State University. The interdisciplinary PhD program in Computational Science, offered jointly by SDSU and the University of California Irvine (UCI), is aimed at training scientists and engineers who will create advanced computational methods and tools to model and solve challenging problems at the intersections of scientific and engineering disciplines. The joint doctoral program offers coursework and research in a broad range of subjects that develop expertise in Mathematical Modeling and Scientific Computing with applications to Biological Science, Earth Science, Engineering Science, Health, Physical and/or Chemical Science. I'm particularly proud of the fact that UCI and SDSU campuses are recognized as Hispanic Serving Institutions offering a welcoming and supportive environment for students of diverse and historically unprivileged backgrounds. Admitted graduate students are offered a range of financial assistance options while they are pursuing advanced degrees, including Teaching, Graduate, and Research Assistantships and Fellowships. If you are, or know anyone who might be, interested in applying to this PhD program and potentially work with me, please apply by January 15th or share the word. Some information on my work can be found on my personal website (valeriabarra.org) and more information about the program, as well as useful tips for prospective students to write an effective Statement of Purpose, can be found on the program website (https://lnkd.in/g36gAQem). A reminder to those who are feeling un-or-under accomplished: don't give up and never allow others make you doubt your self-worth. When life gave me lemons, I made limoncello!

The 5th Annual GradFUTURES Forum of Princeton University Graduate School started yesterday with an engaging fellowship fair and resource showcase, and Clio Hall awards and reception. Had many conversations with students and colleagues about STEM grad ed and broadly scientific research, advancements in professional development and work ahead. Incremental progress can be slow but some initiatives can inspire collective energy and action such as the Night Science Initiative by Profs. Itai Yanai and Martin Lercher. Which brings me to my next highlight for #GradFUTURES Forum- Night Science: creativity in scientific research on April 12, 10-11 am (online). Through workshops and courses, editorials, and the popular Night Science podcasts, Itai and Martin explore the creative side of scientific thinking. They are firm advocates of teaching the creative scientific process in graduate and postdoc training, as creativity is an acquired skill, not innate talent. They encourage graduate students and postdocs to embrace innovative thinking and apply an entrepreneurial mindset toward bold, disruptive research ideas.   Over the past year, it’s been an honor collaborating with Itai and Martin to bring the concepts and tools of Night Science to the Princeton community. This year, Itai and Cliff Brangwynne, Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute collaborated to teach a 1-day #Wintersession Night Science workshop. Through Itai and Martin's virtual GradFUTURES Forum talk on April 12, 10 am we look forward to sharing the Night Science ethos and tools broadly. The talk is co-sponsored by Princeton Entrepreneurship Council (shoutout to Anne-Marie Maman!) Open to all!
