COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, announced today the 2017 SciFinder Future Leaders. Twenty-five international Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers will visit CAS headquarters in Columbus, OH this August to collaborate on exciting new initiatives to support the scientific community, including the latest CAS workflow solution, SciFindern .

For the first time this year, participants will also visit ACS headquarters in Washington, DC, where they will take part in ACS on Campus, an outreach initiative of ACS Publications and CAS. As one of several career-spanning ACS programs that includes SciFinder Future Leaders and the Talented 12 from C&EN, ACS on Campus brings leaders in chemistry, publishing, research, science communication and career development to universities around the world to present seminars on how to:

  • Publish in top journals
  • Find a job
  • Effectively use research tools like SciFinder
  • Communicate your science
  •  Write grant proposals 
  • Build industry partnerships 
  • Prepare for a changing employment landscape

At the conclusion, participants will stay in Washington, DC to learn about chemistry's impact on the global economy at the 254th ACS National Meeting & Exposition, a platform for scientific professionals to present, publish and discuss the most exciting research discoveries in the field.

"For someone who has only just started, I'm most excited at the chance to meet like-minded people from all over the world and gain perspective about building a successful career in science," said Lisa Alcock, a Ph.D. student at Flinders University in Australia and 2017 SciFinder Future Leader. "CAS has a lot to offer when it comes to gathering information and resources in the chemical sciences, so I plan to take full advantage of this opportunity. Upon completion of the program, I hope to have gained many new skills and insight to aid in completion of my Ph.D. in a timely fashion and hopefully kick start the rest of my scientific career."
