Introducing the Marine Geoscience Leadership Symposium
Filed under: Discovery, MGLS, News & Resources, Press Releases, Understanding
The Marine Geoscience Leadership Symposium, March 23-27, 2009 in Washington, D.C., crosses the boundaries between marine geology and geophysics and provides early career researchers with insight into leading a successful research career. This new endeavor will provide a forum for presenting cutting-edge research to peers and distinguished members of the scientific community, as well as provide valuable leadership training, including knowledge of U.S. science agencies and effective techniques to approaching decision makers and legislators. Participants will engage in small group discussions, participate in proposal writing workshops, and meet with funding agencies, media representatives, and policymakers.
Apply now to participate in an experience that will develop long-lasting, collaborative relationships between the newest generation of scientists. Eligible scientists from any subfield of marine geology or geophysics must have completed their Ph.D. between December 1, 2005 and December 1, 2008. The deadline to apply is December 1, 2008.
