Advancing Career Development in the Biological Sciences

 

Career Accelerators

Program Information

Initiatives that make up Keystone Symposia’s Career Accelerator portfolio foster career-development in the life-science community. These initiatives provide opportunities for rising scientists to engage with the broader research community through unique training, mentorship and career-development programming designed to empower trainees and early-stage researchers to be set up for success in pursuit of their career goals.

The Fellows Program

The Keystone Symposia Fellows Program is a unique leadership and career-development training program for early-career scientists who are engaged in independent biological or biomedical sciences research.

CAREER ROUNDTABLES

Along with scholarships and financial aid support, Keystone Symposia hosts a number of roundtable events both at our conferences, and online via the Virtual Keystone Symposia platform, to foster career-development in the life-science community.

Early-Career Investigator Travel Awards

Scientific gatherings provide critical exposure to cutting-edge research and help foster a sense of belonging within the scientific community. Keystone Symposia provides $1,200 ECITAs to early-career investigators to attend our top-tier scientific conferences to support their professional development at this critical career stage. Attendance enables the emerging researcher to:

  • establish new collaborations
  • gain exposure for their research
  • network informally with colleagues
  • meet with prospective postdoctoral candidates
  • gain invaluable career-advancement opportunities
