Miriam –



I’m writing to strongly encourage you to share this amazing opportunity
with PhD students who have advanced to candidacy, and especially those who
identify as historically underrepresented and/or underserved within your
academic unit. As part of the UW *Research University Alliance*
<https://researchuniversityalliance.org/> (UW-RUA), senior PhD students
have the opportunity to experience a *Research Exchange*
<https://grad.uw.edu/for-students-and-post-docs/office-of-postdoctoral-affairs/research-exchange/>
visit to one of eight partner R1 universities (Caltech, Georgia Tech,
Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of Michigan, UT-Austin).



RUA is focused on creating a cross-university community of senior PhD
students and postdocs historically underrepresented in MPESE fields
(Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Computer Science,
and Engineering).



For students figuring out how they might get in front of an audience of
friendly faculty ready to consider them for a postdoctoral or faculty
position, a research exchange visit to a partner institution of RUA may be
the networking resource and experience from which they could benefit.



Research Exchanges (RE) are opportunities for short (3-7 day) campus
visits. Students will have the chance to explore collaboration with a
potential faculty mentor for a future postdoc position.  In addition, they
will have the chance to network within their host department and will be
encouraged to give a chalk talk or seminar.



An RE award includes up to $1,500 to directly support travel (airfare, food
and accommodation, miscellaneous expenses). It does not provide funding for
research, nor does it provide salary and benefits.



*What must students do?*

*APPLY* <https://forms.gle/wvgMz7ttCyNvrHu76> for a research exchange
visit. Contacting faculty in advance is always a good idea.



*What does RUA do?*

Our campus coordinators will help you and your faculty host(s) craft your
visit, making sure you have chances to meet with faculty and leadership,
and present your work.



For best consideration, please *apply by 15 April. *



If you have any questions, please reach out to me— the RUA coordinator at
UW. I am looking forward to seeing students’ applications and helping them
connect with potential networking opportunities via the Research University
Alliance!



With kindness,

drew
