Professional Skills Development Workshops for Women in Physics

该奖项支持一系列专业技能发展研讨会，旨在提高女物理学家的沟通和谈判技能。这些讲习班是仿照提高妇女在化学领域地位委员会（COACh）发起的讲习班，是以前一系列讲习班的延续，这些讲习班试图解决从本科生到正教授以及在该领域担任重要领导职务的各级妇女在物理学中代表性不足的问题。 这些讲习班对女科学家很重要，因为她们寻求充分发挥自己的潜力，在职业生涯中取得进步，并达到其职业的最高水平。 继续举办的讲习班将包括两个新的方面：1）将包括在专业技能发展讲习班获得博士学位后立即寻求永久就业（而不是博士后研究金）的女研究生，2）将为正在担任或即将担任领导职务的妇女举办高级领导力讲习班。 该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会的物理部和材料研究部资助。

This award supports a series of Professional Skills Development workshops aimed at improving the communication and negotiation skills of female physicists. These workshops are modeled on ones initiated by the Committee on the Advancement of Women in Chemistry (COACh), and are a continuation of a previous series of workshops which have sought to address the under representation of women in physics at all levels from undergraduate students to full professors and on into prominent leadership roles in the field. These workshops are important to women scientists as they seek to achieve their full potential, advance in their careers, and reach the top ranks of their profession. The continuing workshops will contain two new aspects: 1) they will include female graduate students who are seeking permanent employment (rather than a postdoctoral fellowship) immediately following their PhD in the professional skills development workshops, and 2) there will be a workshop on advanced leadership for women who are in or advancing toward leadership positions. This award is funded through the Division of Physics and the Division of Materials Research within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
