Now in its 6th year, the Interstellar Initiative is an extraordinary opportunity for early career scientists to grow professionally by working on a proposal for a challenging basic science research issue. Selected scientists will participate in a 3-day workshop in New York City from September 13-15, 2023, with travel expenses covered by AMED.
Here is a flyer for more information: https://bit.ly/3VkLYKC.
The Interstellar Initiative provides an opportunity for a young scientist to:
- Grow their professional network
- Strengthen their collaborative skills by working with others
- Learn how to develop a stress-tested proposal with seasoned mentors
- Be recognized as a select alumnus of this prestigious program
To be eligible, an applicant should have the following:
- Doctoral degree awarded no later than 2013 and ten years or less of active research experience
- An independent, tenure-track position or an equivalent title at a university, private research institution, academic medical center, or government laboratory
- Be proficient in spoken and written English for the purpose of professional science communication
- Have never participated in previous Interstellar Initiative workshops.
