The national program recognizes and rewards the contributions women
make in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields and
identifies exceptional women researchers committed to serving as role
models for younger generations. Five U.S.-based women will receive a
fellowship grant of $60,000 each for their postdoctoral research through
the program.</span> <br><br>The 2016 L’Oréal USA For Women in Science fellowship application period begins on November 30, 2015 and runs until <span><span>February 5, 2016</span></span>.
Candidates should have exceptional academic records and intellectual
merit, clearly articulated research proposals with the potential for
scientific advancement and outstanding letters of recommendation from
advisors. Applicants are also evaluated on their commitment to
supporting women and girls in STEM.</p>
<p>NCAR highly encourages our women postdocs to apply to this fellowship. Just a reminder to all of you to not let <a title="Impostor Syndrome" href="https://counseling.caltech.edu/general/InfoandResources/Impostor" target="_blank">imposter syndrome</a>
get in the way of applying. As postdocs working here, you are all doing
exceptional research - a L'Oreal fellowship is not only a significant
grant source to support your research, but is an excellent opportunity
for networking and sponsorship at the national level. </p>
