The goal is to increase significantly the retention and promotion of women in academia in biological sciences, in order to create greater diversity in academic and scientific leadership. WEBS thus targets early career women in the biological sciences with an emphasis on ecology and evolutionary biology. In particular, WEBS focuses on women who have earned their doctoral degrees within the past two to eight years and who do not have tenure in order to address the critical transition period from graduate studies and post-doctoral positions to permanent research and teaching positions. WEBS participants are current post-docs, research scientists and assistant professors. The first WEBS symposium is scheduled for October 14-17, 2007 outside of Seattle, WA.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">Each WEBS symposium will provide female biologists with an opportunity to develop skills and networks which will help them to advance in their careers. In addition, WEBS will provide baseline data on how early career women navigate this transitional career stage. The symposia will provide a forum for professional development, including awareness and improvement of academic leadership skills; opportunities to establish mentoring relationships; and resources for developing professional networks. Each symposium will include speakers and small group activities, as well as opportunities for the participants to interact in casual, unstructured settings. Speakers will be mid-career and senior female scientists who will share their own stories and lead discussions and activities on topics such as life/work balance, time management, running a research lab, managing a budget, networking and mentoring, course development and career pathways to leadership. An important outcome of the symposia will be increased understanding of the specific issues related to the transition of women in biological sciences from graduate school to leadership roles in academic and research settings, and ways to address such issues. Each symposium will be tailored to meet the needs of the participants and will be refined using responses from the previous symposium.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"> </FONT></SPAN><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">WEBS is a collaborative project between the </FONT><A href="http://www.washington.edu/"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">University of Washington</FONT></FONT></SPAN></A><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"> and the </FONT><A href="http://www.ucsc.edu/"><SPAN style="text-decoration: none; "><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">University California, Santa Cruz</FONT></FONT></SPAN></A><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">.

The principal selection criteria for Fellows are scientific excellence and a clearly expressed plan to investigate problems at the forefront of earth science. Our scientists lead research in the fields of solid earth dynamics (e.g. seismology, geodesy, mantle dynamics, petrology/geochemistry, earthquake and rock mechanics, marine and continental tectonics/geology/geophysics), ocean and atmospheric dynamics (e.g. climate/paleoclimate, climate forecasting, physical/chemical oceanography) and life sciences (e.g. biological oceanography, biogeosciences, plant physiology, paleontology). In addition, we are also developing programs in the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle, in complex and dynamical systems, coastal and estuarine processes, terrestrial ecology, and natural hazards. Applications from all fields are encouraged.</FONT><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"> </FONT></SPAN><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica">The fellowships are supported institutionally for 21 months, include a $5,000 research allowance, and carry an annual stipend of $50,000.
