AWM launches a New Series of Biennial Research Symposia

AWM Research Symposium 2013 will be held at Santa Clara University March 16 -17, 2013.   The symposium, the initial event in the series, will showcase the research of women in the mathematical professions.   It will feature three plenary talks, special sessions on a broad range of research in pure and applied mathematics, poster sessions for graduate students and recent PhDs, and a panel discussion of the "imposter syndrome."  Join us next spring on the Santa Clara University campus. 

Partial reimbursement for expenses may be available.  To be considered for funding, please register above.

Plenary Speakers:
Inez Fung, UC Berkeley 
Maryam Mirzakhani, Stanford University
Lauren Williams, UC Berkeley

Poster Session:
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) invites early-career women to give a poster presentation.
Format:  20-25 women will be selected to present a poster.  AWM has applied for funding and hopes to be able to offer partial support for expenses for poster presenters.
Eligibility:  Applications are welcome from women who have received their PhDs within approximately the last three years and from graduate students who have made substantial progress on their doctoral thesis.
Application deadline: January 15, 2013 
Applications should be submitted via MathPrograms.org.
