Early-Career Development—Insights from Academia and Industry

MRS Advances is accepting full-paper submissions on Broader Impact topics related to the symposium topic Early-Career Development—Insights from Academia and Industry from the 2020 MRS Spring/Fall Meeting. Submissions, the review process, and the final decision are not contingent on presentation at the meeting itself. MRS Advances publishes short papers that provide a “snapshot” of an advance within the field of materials research. Such work may include important early indications from a research project that has not yet reached a conclusion, or related results that are significant but not central to the goal of the project. The scientific methods and logic should be rigorous, technically sound, and of interest to other specialists in the area of research. Of particular interest are topics in Early-Career Development—Insights from Academia and Industry: • Early careers • Faculty application • Job application • Grant proposal writing • Research article writing • Teaching methods • Mentoring strategies
