[DIALOGnews] Deadline for DIALOG VI symposium is May 1

[Susan Weiler]

Dear all,

DIALOG symposia keep getting better! This October, Debbie Steinberg, 
DIALOG I alum and current faculty member at VIMS, will be on site to 
provide perspectives based on her experience as both hard-money 
faculty and, earlier, soft-money researcher. Monty Graham will be 
present as well--be sure to check out his Tips on Tenure on the 
http://aslo.org/phd.html webpage.
--If you are eligible for this year's symposium, you are strongly 
encouraged to apply. The process is simple and, with the symposium on 
an annual schedule, the success rate should be higher than it has 
been in the past couple of cycles. So this is definately a good time 
to apply!

--Those of you who are no longer eligible, please forward this 
message to your students and colleagues!

Thanks, Sue

DIALOG symposia provide an opportunity for recent PhD graduates to 
forge lasting collegial bonds with their peer group, enhance 
international and interdisciplinary exchange, and gain perspectives 
on early-career development. Participants will present their research 
in an interdisciplinary forum, learn about agency programs, practice 
communication and teambuilding skills, and discuss emerging research, 
education and societal issues.

                            DIALOG VI is scheduled for:
                         October 30 - November 6, 2004

      Graduates completing their Ph.D. between April 1, 2002 and
      March 31, 2004 and whose work in any field is relevant to
        freshwater or marine biology/ecology are eligible. Some
                             travel subsidies are available
                       Application Instructions are posted at

    "It was the most useful and worthwhile meeting I have ever been to.
   It goes without saying that the relationships we all began there will   
        be with us throughout our professional careers.... It not only
   allowed those of us in freshwater to gain a marine perspective and
      begin to think about collaborating, but it also brought together
   the most informed group of people I could have met with respect to
                       applying for grants and looking for jobs."
            Celia Y. Chen, past DIALOG Symposium participant
