Dear Colleagues,

	This October 14-16 Rice University will host our second workshop for 
women in science and engineering on negotiating the ideal faculty 
position.   I would appreciate your advertising this seminar to your 
female graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.  The deadline 
for applications is August 1, next week.  Accepted attendees will have 
their airfare, accomodations, and meals paid for.  Seminar topics will 
include:

finding the right institutional fit;
putting together a successful faculty application;
how to stand out in the interview;
how and when to negotiate a good start up package;
understanding the tenure process;
balancing work and family.

The application can be completed on-line at
