朱迪思·乔丹，南密西西比大学，2006-2007学年探索兵团高级研究员。乔丹计划利用她的行业专业知识和领导力，为对工业职业感兴趣的科学领域的年轻女性(本科生、研究生和博士后及其导师)提供一系列为期两天的研讨会。每个工作坊将包括技能发展(交流、谈判、展示成就)、个人成长计划的发展和网络。这项探索兵团高级奖学金由化学部和多学科活动办公室提供支持。探索军团奖学金计划是一个试点计划，寻求将研究专业知识与专业服务相结合的新的博士后和专业发展模式。探索兵团研究员通过解决国家需求领域的项目来利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目增强了研究能力和基础设施，并有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。探索团队计划同时支持博士后研究员和高级研究员。

Judith Giordan, University of Southern Mississippi, is a Discovery Corps Senior Fellow for the 2006-2007 academic year. Giordan plans to apply her industry expertise and leadership by offering a series of two-day workshops for young women in science (undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral and their mentors) interested in industrial careers. Each workshop will include skill-development (communication, negotiation, presenting accomplishments), development of a personal growth plan, and networking.This Discovery Corps Senior Fellowship is supported by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
