We invite you to participate in a new UW partnership with the California Alliance. The Research Exchange connects underrepresented students and postdocs with faculty hosts and research groups at Berkeley, Caltech, Stanford, UCLA, University of Michigan, Harvard, University of Washington, and the University of Texas at Austin.
The goal of the program is provide a unique learning and networking opportunity. Through this program you’ll be encouraged to learn new techniques, engage in collaborative research, explore a group with which you might wish to conduct postdoctoral research or pursue a faculty position, perhaps practice a job talk, and benefit from the individualized career guidance.
We have a limited number of requests we can accommodate each year, and the UW program will elicit applicants twice a year. Awards are typically $1,500 a visit.
Apply here: https://www.california-alliance.org. Priority consideration will be given to applications received by April 30 for placements late Spring and early Summer.

California Alliance for Graduate Education & The Professoriate. The California Alliance began as a partnership between four leading California universities to ensure that underrepresented minority (URM) PhD graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from our alliance institutions aspire to and populate the ranks of the postdoctoral population, the faculty at competitive research and teaching . The California Alliance has invited select institutions, including the University of Washington, to become part of the consortia.
The California Alliance offers a $1,500 travel award for eligible students and postdocs to spend up to a week at one of the alliance campuses. Eligible individuals include senior Ph.D. students and postdocs in the Mathematical, Physical, and Computer Sciences; and Engineering fields who belong to an underrepresented minority group (African American, Chicano/Latino, Native American/Alaskan Native) and are US citizens. Awards will be made competitively.
Interested? We hope so! Check out the program website for more details: https://www.california-alliance.org and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.
