[Jpjobs] Fwd: Fwd: Early Career Scientist opportunity

[Julia Westwater]

> --------------------------
>
> Apply to the DeSSC Early Career Scientist program, and learn about 
> what it takes to design and implement deep sea research, as well as 
> how to better your chances of getting funding.
>
> The National Deep Submergence Facility (or NDSF) manages and operates 
> the U.S. submersible Alvin, the remotely operated vehicle Jason/Medea, 
> and the autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry. These deep submergence 
> vehicles are renowned for facilitating and advancing deep-sea 
> research, including the discovery of hydrothermal vents, and more 
> recently their investigations of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
>
> The Deep Submergence Science Committee (DeSSC) is a standing committee 
> of scientists who provide support and advice to the NDSF. The DeSSC 
> fall meeting is an open forum for marine scientists to learn about 
> scientific discoveries and technical advances, as well as to express 
> their opinions about NDSF activities. The DeSSC meeting is held 
> annually on the Sunday before the start of the AGU fall meeting.
>
> DeSSC is committed to increasing the involvement of students and 
> postdoctoral/early career scientists. To that end, we have developed a 
> program to: 1) expose students and early career scientists to DeSSC 
> and the NDSF, 2) engage participants in DeSSC advisory activities, 3) 
> offer participants training and mentoring in the process of developing 
> research programs that use NDSF vehicles, and 4) enable participants 
> to network with scientists actively involved in NDSF-supported 
> research. These goals will be achieved through a meeting workshop 
> (prior to the DeSSC meeting) in which scientists provide instruction 
> on deep-sea research, grant-writing, technology, and data management, 
> and by directly involving participants in the DeSSC fall meeting.
>
> The early career workshop will be held on Saturday, December 7th from 
> 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm followed by an evening workshop dinner (6:30 pm to 
> 9:00 pm) featuring a guest speaker(s). The DeSSC fall meeting will 
> occur on Sunday, December 8th (the day before the start of the 2013 
> AGU Fall meeting) in San Francisco, CA. The workshop program will 
> provide topics of interest to both first-time participants as well as 
> participants who have attended the workshop in previous years.
>
> Students and early career scientists can apply for financial support 
> to offset the cost of travel and lodging for the DeSSC meeting. 
> Participants must attend the entire workshop, evening dinner, and 
> DeSSC meeting.
