L'Oréal
The L’Oréal USA For Women in Science fellowship program honors female scientists at a critical stage in their careers with grants of $60,000 each. Since 2003, we’ve awarded 75 postdoctoral women scientists nearly $4 million in grants. We’re seeking five exceptional female scientists looking to advance their research and serve as role models for the next generation of girls in STEM.
Candidates are selected from a variety of fields including the life and physical/material sciences, technology (including computer science), engineering, and mathematics. Candidates must have completed their Ph.D. and have started in their postdoctoral position by the application deadline.
The application, FAQs and more information about the L’Oréal USA For Women in Science program can be found at www.lorealusa.com/forwomeninscience.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Rachel Pacifico at rachel.pacifico@loreal.com.
Thank you for considering this fellowship opportunity and for your help in advancing the role of women in science.

WIRED
To get a great job, you’ve got to network — make contacts, know the right people. You know the drill. But a study out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that the kind of networking that works best for men isn’t enough for women.
Women need access to key kinds of information that men don’t. And how can they get it? From other women.

I sat hunched over my computer screen, analyzing data, when a university administrator walked into our lab and handed out a series of sealed envelopes. Puzzled, I opened the letter addressed to me: “It has become necessary for the University to effect a layoff of your position as a Postdoctoral Scholar.” In silence, my labmates opened their own letters, all of which said essentially the same thing.

The Hechinger Report
A few years ago, a young female engineer named Isis Anchalee was featured on one of her company’s recruiting posters only to be subjected to a barrage of digital feedback questioning whether she was really an engineer. People posting on Facebook and Twitter said Anchalee was too attractive to be an actual software engineer and must be a model.

Underrepresented minorities and women in STEM fields are more likely to publish research when there is a clear departmental structure and a sense of belonging in postdoctoral programs, a study conducted by UC Berkeley researchers found.
The study, which published Jan. 9, found that instead of attempting to change the imbalance of underrepresented minorities and women in STEM itself by increasing enrollment, the focus should be placed on changing factors that cause students to feel like they don’t belong.

After witnessing the protests, rioting and unrest that took place in 2014 in her town of Ferguson, Missouri following Michael Brown’s death, Heather Robinett was inspired to get involved in local politics. “I wanted to step up and serve my community where I thought I could make a difference,” she says. She credits her 2016 win and resulting tenure on the city council with STEM reskilling training she received on the job at AT&T. She feels those programs gave her the confidence to get involved in a new area, as well the leadership skills needed to succeed in the political realm.

A couple years ago, I attended a conference called “Engineering a Blockbuster Career.” It was run by a biomedical institute, so I assumed — correctly, thankfully — that “Blockbuster” was being used as an adjective, as opposed to a reference to a job at a video rental store.
Attendees asked the panelists how to overcome various roadblocks in their career searches: “How can I network if I don’t know anybody?” “How can I find a position despite lack of experience?”
