[All-postdocs] Fw: REMINDER: 2024 COBRA Master Class Opportunity - Deadline November 8, 2023

[Johanna Weston]

Hi Post Docs,

Do you collect data from cruises? Do you see cruises as part of your future science endeavors? Are you READY to be a Chief Scientist for one of those future cruises??

If you think being a Chief Scientist is in your future, then consider applying for the 2024 COBRA Master Class Opportunity. I was one of the 12 participants in the 2023 Master Class and learned SOOO much. Being a Chief Scientist is a big role, and this course helped me visualize the full process.

During the 13-week course, the great set of scientists, including WHOI's own Julie Huber, break down the process from selecting your science team to conducting outreach. The other participants are globally located, so it is great to connect with others and maybe even find a new collaborator. Through this course, you work on starting to flush out a Dream Cruise, which might be the base for a future proposal. Also, you don't pay for the class; COBRA pays you a stipend.

I highly recommend and am happy to field questions.

Johanna

REMINDER!
Applications due November 8, 2023

Dear COBRA Community,

We are delighted to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2024 Deep-Sea Expedition Leadership Master Class! Applications are due November 8, 2023. Please find more information on the COBRA website: https://cobra.bigelow.org/master-class-and-fellowship/<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbigelow.us5.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D3854c297a34d6c91d273c066b%26id%3D3de7607225%26e%3Df7455cbefe&data=05%7C01%7Call-postdocs%40whoi.edu%7Ca6cac11f75dc47b098c208dbdbe833ce%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638345562581647934%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=%2FNnLgyerUHzqQMc8ruoXvkKYytm%2FNY6QnZdwe6hCTKY%3D&reserved=0>

The centerpiece education activity of COBRA is a “Master Class” that trains early career researchers (ECRs) in deep-sea expedition planning from start to finish. The Master Class – delivered virtually over the course of 13 weeks – is designed to equip participants with the skills and tools to successfully design, propose, execute, and report on deep-sea oceanographic field research with a collaborative, just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive approach. Topics covered include reviewing the types of assets for conducting deep-sea research and exploration, funding and proposal writing tips, developing concepts through respectful and reciprocal engagement with others, cruise preparation how-to, at-sea operations planning, using telepresence for research and outreach, permitting and reporting, data management, and ocean law.

The 2024 Master Class will be held virtually for 13 weeks beginning February 27, 2024 and ending May 21, 2024. Synchronous virtual sessions are held on Tuesdays from 2:00-4:00PM US eastern time using Zoom. Asynchronous learning and networking is supported by the Master Class website intranet and a dedicated Slack channel.

As an international network, COBRA seeks participation from US-based and international ECRs, with an intention to create a larger, more diverse pool of talent engaged in leading deep-sea research that addresses societal needs. In this context, an ECR is defined as a senior graduate student, postdoctoral scientist, junior faculty less than 10 years from their terminal degree, and/or other junior professionals such as an early career employee of a government, non-governmental organization/non-profit, or company.

Participants selected for the virtual Master Class training opportunity are eligible to receive a US$2,000 stipend to support their participation. Previous hands-on experience with deep-sea research, outreach, or policy is not required. Participants are considered COBRA Fellows for the 2024 calendar year and are eligible for additional COBRA leadership training opportunities.

More information and the link for the online application portal is available on the COBRA website: https://cobra.bigelow.org/master-class-and-fellowship/<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbigelow.us5.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D3854c297a34d6c91d273c066b%26id%3D6ad5cbbbc2%26e%3Df7455cbefe&data=05%7C01%7Call-postdocs%40whoi.edu%7Ca6cac11f75dc47b098c208dbdbe833ce%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638345562581647934%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=6olE38FxF5sCAinmRfbBuXwmZWGlI4v6w8Oh106VnRI%3D&reserved=0>
