We are accepting applications for the JSA Promising Young Scientist

The program will assist chosen applicants in preparation for faculty 
interviews. We will assist the candidates in crafting a good colloquium 
or seminar talk, and collect constructive criticism from the audience. 
Selected applicant will travel to a host institution to present the

class session. Feedback will be provided for all the components of the 
mock interview at the end of the visit. All applicants (accepted or not) 
will receive feedback on application materials (cover letter, CV and, 
statements). Several past participants who have accepted faculty 
positions have reported that the JSA Promising Young Scientist program 
has provided an excellent practice for their successful job interviews.
