Professional Skills Development Workshops for Women in Physics

该奖项支持一系列职业技能发展讲习班，旨在提高女性物理学家的沟通和谈判技能。这些讲习班是以提高妇女在化学中的地位委员会(COACH)发起的讲习班为蓝本，是先前一系列讲习班的延续，这些讲习班试图解决从本科生到全职教授以及在该领域担任重要领导职务的各级物理学中妇女代表性不足的问题。这些研讨会对女科学家来说很重要，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，并达到所在专业的最高级别。持续的研讨会将包括两个新方面：1)将包括在获得博士学位后立即寻求永久工作(而不是博士后奖学金)的女性研究生参加专业技能发展研讨会；2)将为担任领导职务或即将担任领导职务的女性举办关于高级领导力的研讨会。该奖项由数学和物理科学局内的物理司和材料研究司提供资金。

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.
