Workshop Series for Early Career Geoscientists: Navigating NSF, Aspects of a Successful Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, and How to Network for Professional Success

该奖项将在2011年秋季美国地球物理联盟（AGU）会议期间为早期职业地球科学家提供为期一天的三部分专业发展系列的部分支持。秋季AGU会议是地球科学家最大的会议之一，是吸引早期职业科学家（如高级研究生，博士后学者，新教员和研究科学家）的绝佳机会。其目标是为这些早期职业科学家提供一个发展专业技能的场所，这些技能将有助于这些早期职业科学家的持续成功。这三个研讨会包括：1)如何驾驭国家科学基金会，2)塑造博士后奖学金计划的未来，以及3)作为一种专业技能的网络。特别是对于早期职业研究人员来说，学习如何提出正确的问题以及了解哪些项目适合他们的研究想法获得资助是很重要的。这个研讨会将对所有AGU秋季会议的与会者开放，但对职业生涯早期到中期的参与者特别有帮助。

This award will partially support a one-day, three-part professional development series for early career geoscientists during the 2011 Fall American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in San Francisco, CA. The Fall AGU meeting, one of the largest meetings for geoscientists, is an excellent opportunity to engage early career scientists, such as senior graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, new faculty and research scientists. The goal is to provide a venue for the development of professional skills that will contribute to the continued success of these early career scientists. The three workshops include: 1) how to navigate the National Science Foundation, 2) shaping the future of postdoctoral fellowship programs, and 3) networking as a professional skill. For early career researchers in particular it is important to learn how to ask the right questions and to learn what programs are appropriate for their research ideas to get funded. This workshop will be open to all AGU Fall Meeting attendees, but will be particularly helpful to early-career to mid-career participants.
