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

妇女不断发展的生物科学（WEBS）将是一个为期三天的年度研讨会，旨在解决有关从早期职业阶段过渡到终身职位的早期职业问题，以及在学术和研究环境中的领导作用。 WEBS的目标是大大提高生物科学学术界妇女的保留和地位，以提高学术和科学领导的卓越性和创造更大的多样性。关注这一职业阶段的目的是解决博士后或研究人员竞技场与终身职位之间的妇女流失问题。 作为一个国家，美国不能继续失去训练有素的科学人才。WEBS将解决生物科学的早期职业过渡问题，重点是生态学和进化生物学领域。 WEBS将支持在过去两到八年内获得博士学位并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永久研究和教学职位的关键过渡期。 每个WEBS研讨会将侧重于技能发展和主题的参与者确定为重要的是他们的能力，在从研究生院的关键过渡到学术环境中的领导角色取得成功。这项工作得到了进化研究学会、华盛顿大学水产和渔业科学学院以及北美底栖学会的支持。10多个专业协会承诺帮助宣传讲习班，表明认识到必须制定战略，以留住和促进生物科学博士人才库。 该奖项得到了ADVANCE领导力奖的支持。 领导奖支持个人，小团体或组织在发展国家和/或学科特定领导方面的努力，使妇女能够充分参与和促进学术科学和工程事业

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
