The Global Young Academy (GYA) is a prestigious international academy of early and mid-career researchers that is capped at 200 members.
The current membership of the Global Young Academy comes from 69 different countries and engages in research from the natural sciences to arts and humanities.
Applicants are typically 3 to 10 years post-PhD and below the age of 40, with selection based on:
(i) demonstrated excellence in the field of research,
(ii) demonstrated commitment to improving the state of science and its links to broader society.
As each member is appointed for a 5 year term, only 30-40 positions become available each year (selected from ~400 applicants). Thus, Ruchi is one of only a small proportion of excellent applicants from around the world to be selected.
