The Young
Investigators (YI) program -
The 2010 YI program intends to encourage and help people who are
beginning their careers in aggression research. Building on the great
success of the 2008 Budapest meeting, the YI program includes:
- Pre-meeting workshop to facilitate career
development by interaction with senior researchers, with suggestions
for scientific accomplishment and professional advancement
- Planned (but informal) interactions
with a panel of mentors during the course of the meeting
- Networking with other young
investigators and members of ISRA
- Stipends for travel and meeting
expenses (on an as-needed basis)
We encourage graduate students, Postdoctoral Fellows and junior faculty
within 3 years of their Graduate degree to apply. Please submit:
- A scientific abstract for
presentation
- A curriculum vitae (CV)
- A 250-word statement summarizing
your research interests and how participating in the YI program would
advance your professional development
Students should include a student verification letter from their
advisor. We will choose participants based on the originality and
promise of their work in human or animal, observational, experimental
or theoretical analyses of aggression. The submission deadline for the
YI program is
April 1. All
submissions, including questions regarding the YI program, should
include the phrase "Young Investigator Program" in the subject line and
be submitted to Dr. Michael Potegal at
poteg001@umn.edu.
