PhD students interested in chemical informatics?

(from scifinderinfo@cas.org)

CAS is now accepting applications for the 2011 SciFinder Academic Exchange Program (SAEP)

This extraordinary opportunity is for outstanding PhD chemistry students to exchange ideas about chemical informatics with CAS senior management, editorial scientists, and technical specialists.

Selected participants spend 4 days in Columbus, Ohio with CAS senior management and scientists to discuss how information gained through tools like SciFinder greatly help their research and to share what gaps they see in information services and tools. Students also get the opportunity to tour local research organizations such as Battelle Memorial Institute, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center,
TechColumbus, and other local research organizations.

Additionally, participants are invited to join their chemistry colleagues at the 242nd ACS National Meeting and Exposition, to be held in Denver, Colorado, in August 2011. All expenses are paid for this unique experience, and participants receive a $1,000 stipend.

Don’t miss out on your chance to apply – all application materials are due April 30, 2011.
