Third Materials Innovators Workshop on "New Quantum Materials"
Faculty the Center for Precision Assembled Quantum Materials at Columbia University, Howard University and the CREST-IDEALS Center at City College of New York invite outstanding postdoctoral and graduate researchers to apply to the Third Materials Innovators Workshop to be held on the Columbia University campus on January 16th and 17th, 2025.
This two-day event, to be held on Columbia University's Morningside campus, will include an opportunity to present research talks as well as informal sessions aimed at career mentoring and networking. The scientific focus of this year's workshop is "New Quantum Materials."
Researchers from minority serving institutions (MSIs) and primarily-undergraduate institutions are encouraged to apply as are applicants from members of underrepresented groups in science; e.g., women, underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, and military veterans.
Our goal is to assemble a diverse group of participants, speakers and faculty to provide a broad array of perspectives. The program is designed to provide Materials Innovators with mentoring, to maximize networking opportunities, and to hold worthwhile discussions related to quantum materials.
- Present a 15 minute talk on their quantum materials research
- Connect and network with peers from across quantum materials research areas.
- Participate in panel discussions and professional development activities.
Third Materials Innovators Workshop 2025
We will assist Materials Innovators with domestic travel arrangements to Columbia University in New York, NY. The workshop will provide financial support for travel and lodging.
Meals during the event will be provided to maximize discussion and networking.
Please inquire ahead of time if any specific accommodations are required.
Who is eligible to apply?
All applications are welcome. This program is most timely for postdoctoral scholars and graduate students within about a year of completing their Ph.D, however all applications are welcome and will be considered.
If I have already received a job offer, am I eligible to apply?
Preference will be given to applicants who have not begun a tenure-track or industry position by the time of the workshop. Applicants who have begun a new position but feel that the workshop would be invaluable to them are encouraged to inquire.
Are applications restricted to U.S. citizens?
All applications are welcome, however due to limited funds for travel, the number of international attendees will be limited.
What financial support will be available to selected Materials Innovators?
Participants will receive financial support for travel. Lodging and meals will be provided during the event to maximize opportunities for discussion and networking.
When will I find out about acceptance to this event?
We plan to review applications immediately following the December 13th deadline, and hope to inform applicants within one to two weeks, in order to give participants time to book travel to/from New York City.
