*Deadline: *May 19

*Apply*: careers at deshaw.com <http://www.cambridgesciencefestival.org/>
We’re excited to announce D. E. Shaw Exploration Fellowship 2017, a unique
educational opportunity taking place at our New York City headquarters from
July 19 to 20. Given that women are underrepresented in the global
alternative investment industry, we specifically designed a program in an
effort to bring together talented and intellectually curious women enrolled
in Ph.D. programs. These women will receive an introduction to our firm,
insights into our rigorous approach to finance, and several professional
and social networking opportunities. By engaging with a cross section of
people at the firm, from recent Ph.D. graduates to senior leaders, these
women will learn about the challenging problems on which we work, as well
as the transition from academia to finance. Participants will receive a
$2,000 stipend, accommodations, and travel to and from New York City.
*8. [MASS AWIS] She prevailed: the secrets to start-up success in STEM from
women entrepreneurs*
*When: *Tuesday, May 23rd, 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
*Where:* Mass Innovation Labs, Cambridge, MA
