Dear Visualization Community,

VIS Summer Camp is an annual event that promotes a peer support and
mentoring group that helps to develop junior faculty without tenure whose
research area spans visualization. This experience provides a unique
mentoring opportunity that complements the available resources to faculty
who are starting to navigate the world of academia and aids their
transition from graduate school or postdoctoral positions to the following
career stages.

The camp is designed as a two-year event aimed at taking a small group and
developing a sense of camaraderie and belonging to support retention. The
second year is focused on more intensive development of crucial milestones
toward success, such as developing NSF CRII and CAREER, DOE ECRP, or DOD
YIP proposals. We accept a small cohort of participants and organize a
retreat with intense discussions and collaborations over two days.

We've just started recruiting the next 2-yr cohort. Pre-tenure faculty at
research-focused institutions in North America who identify as
visualization researchers are eligible to apply. If you're interested,
please fill out this form:
