[Joel K. Llopiz]

A great opportunity for recent graduates or those about to graduate. This symposium/workshop was formerly known as DIALOG, and is akin to DISCRRS, DISCO, and PODS.

 
Eco-DAS XI
October 19-25, 2014
Honolulu, Hawai`i

Application Deadline: 21 April, 2014

To apply: http://cmore.soest.hawaii.edu/eco-das/application.htm

The Ecological Dissertations in the Aquatic Sciences symposium series is designed to:

1. Foster sustained, cross-disciplinary interactions among the top new researchers in ecological oceanography and limnology, to the benefit of both the science and the researchers.

2. Increase the success rate of new researchers seeking funding to build their research programs, by familiarizing them with the diversity of available research opportunities, and introducing them to representatives of funding agencies with whom they will interact in future.

3. Increase the likelihood of professional success for these new researchers by:

Highlighting their initial work through high-visibility, open-access publication of a formal symposium proceedings volume;
Focusing that volume on interdisciplinary and collaborative aspects of their work; and
Establishing mentoring relationships between participants and established scientists.
The 2014 symposium will be held at the East-West Center, University of Hawai`i at Manoa campus, 19-25 October 2014. Applicants must have received their PhD on or after 1 June 2013, or expect to receive it before 1 June 2015. The dissertation work of the applicant must deal with an important ecological problem in oceanography or limnology. Applications will include: a current resume, a letter of support from the applicants current (graduate or postdoctoral) advisor, up to two additional letters of support from other individuals familiar with the applicants background, a personal statement regarding the applicants goals and reasons for applying, and a substantive outline of a proposed chapter to be included in the formal symposium proceedings. All travel and on-site expenses will be paid by the program.

Applications are due by 21 April 2014. For more information regarding the symposium, including application requirements and procedures, see the symposium website at: http://cmore.soest.hawaii.edu/eco-das/.  Past symposia have resulted in proceedings volumes published as Limnology and Oceanography e-Books, and articles in Limnology and Oceanography: Fluids and Environments and the Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin:
