The emergent concept of managing health and wellness in a highly precise and personalized manner, both on an individual basis and for the larger population, increases the need for engineering advances that can improve human health. As technological developments allow us to take a more customized, holistic snapshot of the patient, the relationship between engineering and health science becomes increasingly symbiotic. At Columbia University, the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (FF SEAS) and the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (VP&S) work side-by-side to innovate at the intersection of engineering and health science and educate the next generation of scientists. As we pursue excellence in engineering in health, we have made it our priority to do so in an environment that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. With this in mind, FF SEAS and VP&S are pleased to present our inaugural Rising Stars in Engineering in Health Workshop.

We welcome applicants who are interested in the intersection of engineering and biomedicine, and who include postdoctoral fellows/research scientists and graduate students who are 1-2 years away from applying for a faculty position. We especially encourage applicants from groups historically underrepresented in the disciplines. This full-day virtual workshop will take place on Friday, December 18, 2020, and will feature rapid-fire research talks, educational presentations, and panel discussions with Columbia Engineering and Medicine faculty.

Eligibility:
Applicants must be doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, or research scientists who aspire to seek a faculty position in the interdisciplinary field of engineering and biomedicine in Fall 2021 or later.

Selection:
Twenty rising stars will be selected from the applicant pool to participate as presenters and participants in the Workshop. All qualified applicants, whether they are selected as a rising star or not, will be invited to attend the educational portions of the Workshop.

Application Requirements:
Applicants should submit the following materials via the Google Form above:

* 2-page academic statement
* 1-page diversity statement
