> among female faculty of different ranks and postdoctoral
> researchers. The program consists of a three-day summer workshop
> with follow-up reunion events at major national meetings. While

> the opportunity to be involved in frank discussions to explore
> specific promising practices toward eliminating the "leaky
> pipeline", defined by the attrition of women at different stages in
> their academic careers.

> ASCENT is now accepting applications for our first workshop.
>
> Our first workshop will be held in Steamboat Springs, Colorado from
> June 15-17, 2009.

> Applications are DUE by MARCH 15.

> The program will be open for applications from junior female
> scientists to participate in the workshop. Twenty junior scientists
> will be selected each year based on enthusiasm for science, interest
> in issues related to women in academic and professional settings,
> and how they contribute to creating a diverse group, as described in
> their applications. Due to the nature of this networking
> opportunity, we encourage participation of pre-tenure faculty
> members, early-career research scientists, and postdoctoral
> researchers seeking faculty positions.
