ADVANCE Leadership Award: Collaborative Research: Evolving Biological Sciences - WEBS Symposia for Early Career Female Scientists

妇女进化生物科学（web）将是一个为期三天的年度研讨会，旨在解决与从早期职业阶段过渡到终身职位和学术和研究环境中的领导角色有关的早期职业问题。生物科学网络的目标是大幅度增加妇女在生物科学学术界的留用和提高地位，以便在学术和科学领导方面加强卓越和创造更大的多样性。关注这一职业阶段的目的是解决女性在博士后或研究教员舞台和终身教职之间的流失问题。作为一个国家，美国不能继续失去训练有素的科学人才。web将讨论生物科学领域早期职业转变的问题，重点是生态学和进化生物学领域。网络将支持在过去两到八年内获得博士学位且没有终身职位的参与者，以解决从研究生学习和博士后职位到长期研究和教学职位的关键过渡时期。每一次网络研讨会都将关注技能发展和参与者认为对他们在从研究生院到学术环境中领导角色的关键过渡期间取得成功的能力至关重要的主题。这项工作得到了进化研究学会、华盛顿大学水生和渔业科学学院以及北美底栖动物学会的支持。超过10个专业协会已经承诺帮助宣传这些研讨会，这表明人们认识到制定战略以保留和促进生物科学博士人才储备的重要性。该奖项由ADVANCE领导奖支持。领导力奖支持个人、小团体或组织在发展国家和/或特定学科的领导力方面所做的努力，以使女性在学术科学和工程事业中充分参与和进步

Women Evolving Biological Science (WEBS) will be an annual three-day symposium aimed at addressing early career issues related to transitions from early career stages to tenure track positions and leadership roles in academic and research settings. The goal of WEBS is to increase significantly the retention and advancement of women in academia in biological sciences in order to enhance excellence and create greater diversity in academic and scientific leadership. The intent of focusing on this career stage is to address the attrition of women between the postdoctoral or research faculty arena and the tenure track. As a nation, the U.S. cannot afford to continue to lose highly trained scientific talent. WEBS will address issues of early career transitions in biological sciences, with emphasis on the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology. WEBS will support participants who have earned their doctoral degrees within the past two to eight years and who do not have tenure, in order to address the critical transition period from graduate studies and post-doctoral positions to permanent research and teaching positions. Each WEBS symposium will focus on skills development and on topics participants identify as important to their ability to succeed during the critical transition from graduate school to leadership roles in academic settings. This effort has support from the Society for the Study of Evolution, the University of Washingtons School of Aquatic and Fishery Science, and the North American Benthological Society. More than 10 professional societies have committed to help advertise the workshops, demonstrating the recognition of the importance of defining strategies to retain and advance the talented pool of doctoral recipients in the biological sciences. This award is supported by an ADVANCE Leadership award. Leadership Awards support the efforts of individuals, small groups, or organizations in developing national and/or discipline-specific leadership in enabling the full participation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers
