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.

It was just like any other morning. I was at the bus stop, on my way to the lab where I was a postdoctoral fellow. But as I watched the people around me — headphones dangling from their ears, eyes cast down, unsmiling faces — something began to stir inside me. They looked unhappy. And, I realized, I was one of them. Suddenly, I could no longer continue with my work life. I turned around, went back to my flat, and booked a one-way ticket to fly home the next morning.

Writing a cover letter isn’t an easy task for many job seekers. There’s a lot of pressure because, sometimes, the cover letter is the only piece the recruiter will read. Therefore, your cover letter must be a piece of writing that describes your achievements, and how you will help the company succeed.
Additionally, you want your cover letter to illustrate how you are the best fit for the company, and for the reader to believe you have the qualifications they seek.

“Your adviser doesn’t care about you!” bellowed a professor during a professional development session that I attended midway through my Ph.D.
It was a jarring pronouncement, one that was meant to get our attention. What the professor went on to explain was that our advisers may be nice people, and even encouraging and supportive mentors, but they have their own priorities — securing grants, getting tenure — that might conflict with ours at times.

Each year about half a million people around the world with dreams of becoming graduate students take the Graduate Record Examination General Test. Many graduate schools require the standardized test, which assesses skills in critical thinking, analytical writing, verbal reasoning, and quantitative reasoning, as part of their application process. Some schools also require a subject GRE, which tests knowledge in a particular field. But in the past few years, a number of graduate programs, particularly in the biomedical sciences, have decided to drop the GRE as a criterion.

A refrigerator overflowing with dead honey bees and larvae greeted Jay Evans when he returned to his lab at the US Department of Agriculture in Beltsville, Maryland, on Jan. 28.
Evans, an entomologist, is one of the thousands of federal scientists who were locked out of their labs during the longest US government shutdown in history. “We are very backed up,” he says of the USDA lab, which monitors bee pathogens and parasites.
