Hello, everyone! The American Elasmobranch Society, the world's oldest and largest professional society devoted to the scientific study and management of sharks and their relatives, is pleased to announce that we are taking applications for the 4th year of our Young Professional Recruitment Fund diversity scholarship!
The scholarship is open to early career scientists and managers from historically underrepresented minority groups and/or those who work in the developing world who have not yet been an AES member. It provides a year of AES membership along with specialized networking, mentorship, and professional development training. Applications are open until Friday, November 16th. Please help spread the word to interested and eligible candidates! Eligibility rules and application instructions here: http://elasmo.org/blog/applications-now-open-2019-yprf-diversity-scholarship And if any representatives of other professional societies would like to chat with me about the YPRF model and how it can be adapted to your organization, I'm happy to help.
