[All-postdocs] Fw: 2025 COBRA Master Class Opportunity - Deadline September 27, 2024

Fri Aug 23 08:42:02 EDT 2024

Hi Post Docs,

Does your research involve cruise expeditions? Will your career progression include being a cruise scientist? Do you feel overwhelmed by the sole idea of leading a research cruise expedition?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, I recommend you apply for the Crustal Ocean Biosphere Research Accelerator (COBRA)'s 2025 Early Career Leadership Master Class and Fellowship. This is led by an amazing team of the scientists, including WHOI's Julie Huber, who share their knowledge.

The virtual course is 13 weeks long. It 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.

I highly recommend this program and joining this community. I was part of the 2023 Master Class and Fellowship, and now, currently serve on COBRA's executive committee as an early career rep.

I am happy to answer any questions about the program and COBRA.

Thanks,

Johanna

Applications due September 27, 2024

Dear COBRA Community,

We are delighted to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2025 Deep-Sea Expedition Leadership Master Class! Applications are due September 27, 2024. 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%3Df47448e22c%26e%3Df7455cbefe&data=05%7C02%7Call-postdocs%40whoi.edu%7Cea447deacd7b40b242c908dcc370fcfe%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638600137246572154%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=8EUnUs%2B0FNtO3KUrVrn68CGnsXEJWMYdLsD3F61mPqg%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 2025 Master Class will be held virtually for 13 weeks beginning January 14, 2025 and ending April 8, 2025. Synchronous virtual sessions are held on Tuesdays from 2:00-4:00PM US eastern time using Zoom. In addition to these mandatory synchronous sessions, asynchronous learning and networking is supported by the Master Class website intranet and a dedicated Slack channel. Note: Please do NOT apply if you cannot commit to attending the synchronous virtual sessions.

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 2025 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%3D726964e88a%26e%3Df7455cbefe&data=05%7C02%7Call-postdocs%40whoi.edu%7Cea447deacd7b40b242c908dcc370fcfe%7Cd44c5cc6d18c46cc8abd4fdf5b6e5944%7C0%7C0%7C638600137246572154%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ijzRpW3Bj%2BfN7CtvBvdaZQjVaopnfnrUwJ9NXA5y8Qs%3D&reserved=0>
