Early Career Work and Family Fellowships - Call for Applications
The Work and Family Researchers Network (WFRN) is seeking applicants for 2016 Early Career Work and Family Fellowships. The goal of the program is to help promising young scholars establish career successes, as well as connect them to the WFRN community. Fifteen scholars will be selected for the program.
Fellows receive a one-year membership in the WFRN, conference registration, and $500 to help defer expenses to attend the 2016 WFRN Conference (to be held June 23-25, 2016 in Washington, D.C.). At the conference, special events will be targeted to serve the interests of fellows, including networking opportunities with senior scholars and teaching/research workshops. In addition, fellows will be connected with one another in periodic encounters beyond the conference, intended to facilitate collaboration and peer-mentorship.
To be eligible, candidates must have received their doctorate in 2013 or later and have yet to progress into tenured or secure senior-level positions. Eligibility is not restricted on the basis of national location. Information about the program and application materials can be found here.
The deadline for receipt of applications is September 15, 2015. Questions about the program can be addressed to Stephen Sweet, the program director, at ssweet@ithaca.edu.
