BES Early Career Network presents:

Funding Opportunities at the DOE Office of Science for Early Career Scientists

Date: April 26, 2023

Identifying funding opportunities can be difficult and challenging for early career scientists. Join us in this webinar to learn how funding opportunities at the DOE Office of Science for early career scientists are identified, applied for, granted, and managed. Our invited speakers will first give an overview of funding opportunities at the DOE Office of Science, and then focus on funding opportunities for early career scientists. Questions from the audience as well as prepared questions will be addressed by the speakers. This zoom webinar is free and open to the public.

Speakers

Dr. Andrew Schwartz is currently the Director of the Materials Sciences and Engineering Division in the DOE Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES). He was previously the Experimental Condensed Matter Physics program manager and Energy Frontier Research Center team lead in BES. Dr. Schwartz helped to establish the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program in 2010, and currently represents BES on the program coordinating committee. Prior to joining BES, Dr. Schwartz spent several years in industry leading a multi-disciplinary scientific and engineering team in the research and development of new technologies for semiconductor metrology.

Dr. Gail McLean is currently the Acting Director of Chemical Sciences, Geosciences, and Biosciences Division and the team lead for the Photochemistry and Biochemistry team in the DOE Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES). Prior to joining DOE, Dr. McLean was a National Program Leader for Plant Biology in the Competitive Programs Unit of the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service (which became the National Institute of Food and Agriculture). She provided leadership for several competitive grant programs while at USDA.

The DOE Basic Energy Sciences - Early Career Network (BES ECN) is a group of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists in BES centers. The goal is to share best practices between centers, provide workforce development opportunities, and create a network of early career scientists with a passion for energy science.
