Who is an Early Career Scholar (ECS)?
Broadly speaking, this is a scholar of human development who is either
working towards a PhD or whose PhD has been awarded less than 7 years
ago. Most early career scholars are undergraduate students,
graduate/PhD students, postdocs, or junior faculty members. They are
thus in the early stage of their careers.
Why should you become an activity ECS?
There many benefits of becoming an activity ECS. Among other things you
can apply for travel grants, participate in ECS workshop and training,
network with other ECS from all over the work.
Why does ISSBD care about Early Career Scholars?
ISSBD feels committed to early career scholars for at least three reasons.
First, we want to promote the careers of starting scientists by equipping
them with the best possible resources. Second, ISSBD strongly believes
it can benefit from the good ideas and energy of early career scholars.
Third, by focusing on early career scholars, ISSBD hopes it can promote
the kind of generational change that is necessary to keep our organization
as vibrant and active as it is today.
