Marine Geoscience Leadership Symposium
The Marine Geoscience Leadership Symposium 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.
Eligible scientists should have completed their Ph.D. between December 1, 2005 and December 1, 2008. Exceptions are considered based on availability. Applicants may be from any subfield of marine geology and/or marine geophysics (for example, sedimentary geology, geochemistry, marine geophysics, microbiology, marine sedimentology, paleoceanography, tectonophysics, volcanology, hydrogeology, igneous petrology). A limited number of participants from outside the U.S. may be supported. Selected participants receive full participation support including travel, lodging, and meals.
Ocean Leadership is no longer accepting applications for the 2009 symposium.
