SciSymp23 Organizing Team


SCIENTISTA MISSION
The Scientista Foundation is a small, volunteer-run, non-profit organization that endeavors to empower and advance the careers of young women and underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine (STEMM) disciplines through online content, chapter communities, and conferences. One of our primary efforts is our annual Scientista Symposium which is a three-day conference that includes a career fair, poster session, pitch competition, workshops, career panels and numerous networking events.

ABOUT SciSymp
The Scientista Symposium is an intercollegiate conference for pre-professional women in STEMM that brings together hundreds of women internationally for a weekend. The symposium includes guest talks and panels from women across STEMM industries and disciplines, interactive workshops, a research poster competition, a recruiting fair, and ample networking opportunities.

The 2019 Scientista Symposium took place at Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA and was attended by 700+ participants from universities across the country. Over $80,000 of scholarship prizes were awarded.

After a three year pause due to COVID, we are excited to be bringing back this special event!

DATE AND LOCATION
SciSymp23 will take place in the spring of 2023. The date and location are TBD.

WHAT YOU WILL GAIN
This is a valuable addition to your CV and a transformative experience, both personally and professionally. Our organizing team members work remotely and primarily communicate via Slack and Google Drive. We meet on Zoom monthly for team meetings and develop strong bonds with one another. Scientista is a family and we have a ton of fun together each year at the Symposium.

Skills developed by our organizers include:
  • Fundraising
  • Networking
  • Event planning
  • Leadership
  • Teamwork

EXPECTATIONS
Organizing team members are expected to dedicate between 1-5 hours of work per week for 5-10 months concluding with the Symposium. In return, team members receive free accommodation during the Symposium, access to VIP Symposium events, as well as free passes to the event.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
This position is open to all applicants regardless of gender or major. We are particularly excited about and eager for those from underrepresented groups (racial/ethnic/LGBTQ+/First-Gen/disabled/etc.) in STEMM to join our team.

START DATE
Summer 2022
