CRA-W Mailing Lists

Here are 3 mailing lists that CRA-W sponsors for women with Ph.D. degrees (or who are close to completing them) in computer science, computer engineering, and information technology.

Name Link Description
PhdjobhuntHers info For women seeking or starting Ph.D. level jobs in academia (faculty and postdocs), industry, or government laboratories. The issues discussed are not necessarily specific to women. Moderator: Rachel Pottinger, University of British Columbia.
JrProfessHers info For untenured women faculty in universities and colleges to share experiences with and get advice from other women in the same situation. Some of the topics are specific to women, while others are more general. Moderator: Rachel Pottinger, University of British Columbia.
Sisters-mentoring info Mentoring for Ph.D. students and faculty members (particularly junior faculty). Appropriate questions are limited to those for which it is important that the responders be women. Unlike the other lists, questions are sent out to the list and then members respond to the sender (not to the list). The sender then collects the replies and distributes them in one email summary. The traffic is very limited, so senior women stay on this list and provide important input. Moderator: Nancy Leveson, MIT.
