Keystone Symposia is seeking applications for the 2015-2016 Keystone Symposia Fellows Program. Part of Keystone Symposia's
Diversity in Life Science initiatives, this unique program now in its seventh year is for US citizens or permanent residents who are
postdoctoral fellows at least two years into their program, new assistant professors, or researchers from industry. As participants in
the Keystone Symposia programming process, Fellows have the opportunity to engage the giants in the field through a variety of formats
including online study groups, teleconferences and two face-to-face Scientific Advisory Board meetings in January and June in Keystone, Colorado.
Each fellow is paired with a mentor from the Scientific Advisory Board who is expert in the same research field.

A key component of the program is promoting diversity in the life sciences. Applicants do not have to be from underrepresented (UR)
backgrounds, but all applicants must document face-to-face mentoring and support activities with scientists or trainees from UR backgrounds
 and a forward-focused commitment to broad participation in life science research. Graduates of the Keystone Symposia Fellows Program
become members of a unique cadre of scientists who are well-connected, knowledgeable members of the life sciences community and
active proponents of inclusive practices in life science research throughout their careers.

Applications can be downloaded from our website (www.keystonesymposia.org/fellows) and must be received June 1 - September 1, 2015.
Candidates will be selected by the Keystone Symposia Fellows Program Admissions Committee. Notification will be made by early October,
with a start date of October 15, 2015. Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested.
