Dear colleagues,

This is a gentle reminder that the application deadline of the 2017
Smith School Distinguished Junior Researchers Seminar Program is this
weekend (July 1, 2017).

I have received a few queries on travel support for invited speakers
from institutions outside the U.S. With the additional financial
commitment from Smith Innovation Fund, we are now pleased to remove the
original constraint on domestic travel within the U.S. and welcome
applications from junior researchers in the global PSE community. The
program will cover invited speakers' travel expenses, including local
transportation, lodging, meals, and airfare (no restriction on the
invited speakers' home institutions/countries).

To apply, please either send your CV to me ([log in to unmask]) or
fill the online application form below (takes around 2 minutes):

Please feel free to direct any question to me.

Best regards,

Fengqi
