EARLY CAREER WORKSHOP AWARD (Annual conference)

The Early Career Workshop provides additional career development and networking opportunities at SASE for PhD students and researchers having obtained their PhD within 3 years of the annual SASE meeting, as well as for early career scholars without institutional affiliation. It is a one-day workshop that runs the day before the main conference and is hosted by senior SASE professors, including a pre-Workshop networking event, sessions on getting published, career development, and an introduction to socio-economics. It will also provide an opportunity for a longer and deeper discussion of applicants’ conference papers.

To be eligible for the Early Career Workshop, you must either be a PhD student or a researcher having obtained your PhD within 3 years of the annual SASE meeting, or an early career scholar without institutional affiliation. Previous workshop participants may not apply for this award.

To apply for the Workshop, your paper abstract should be submitted and accepted to the main conference through the normal process. Applicants must also submit the following materials in English before the general submission period ends:

  • full paper
  • two-page CV
  • one-page case for support – a letter detailing why you wish to attend the workshop and what financial support you require from SASE (approximate cost of travel, whether you need housing during the conference, and what support you have from your home institution)

Any application without all of these elements will not be considered for inclusion in the Workshop. The deadline for these materials is the same as the general deadline for submissions.

While two papers may be submitted to the SASE conference, applicants may submit only one paper, under 10,000 words, to be considered for the Early Career Workshop. Only those papers accepted to the main conference are considered by the Workshop Organizing Committee for additional inclusion in the Workshop.

Each Early Career Workshop participant has their full main conference fee and membership waived.

There will be approximately 15-20 competitively allocated places at the Workshop.  Notification of acceptance will be sent out approximately 3 months before the annual meeting.
