About this event
The field of anthrozoology has experienced an increase in graduate and career opportunities in recent decades. However, due to the interdisciplinary and disparate nature of our field, it can be difficult to find graduate and career opportunities, obtain salary and research funding, and network with others in the field. This workshop aims to provide a space for these opportunities in a free, virtual platform.
Below is a draft schedule for the workshop:
9:00 – 9:15 EST - Welcome and Introductions
9:15 – 9:45 EST - National Institutes of Health (NIH) Funding for Predoctoral, Postdoctoral, and Early Career Researchers + Q&A
