<p class="MsoNormal">We are excited to invite applicants for our second cohort of a professional development program at UMass Amherst: UNVEIL: Revealing the hidden curriculum of faculty job application, interviewing and negotiation to contribute to diversifying
scientific leadership. This program is sponsored and hosted at UMass Amherst, but open to participants across North America.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The main goal of this program is to increase diversity among faculty and scientific leadership in the Natural Sciences, with a specific focus on groups under-represented in their fields. The program provides training to early career researchers
to help them excel during the application and faculty interview process by exposing admitted fellows to the same components that they will experience during the faculty job process. The program is open to postdoctoral fellows and finishing graduate students
residing in North America, with priority given to applicants planning to pursue jobs in the 2024-2025 academic year (see more details on eligibility at the link below). For this year’s cohort, participating departments are Environmental Conservation, Biology,
and Earth, Geographic and Climate Sciences. <o:p></o:p></p>
