The IRIS Early Career
Investigators (ECI) Working Group invites all those interested, particularly
late-stage graduate students through postdoctoral scholars, to attend a
symposium on Sunday, June 8 in Sunriver, Oregon, the morning before the start
of the 2014 IRIS Consortium Workshop. http://www.iris.edu/hq/meetings/2014/06/iris_workshop_sunriver_oregon/
Titled “Jumping on the Employment Express – How to be Part of the
Geosciences Employment Boom”, the symposium will be led by Dr. Christopher
Keane (Director of Communications and Technology, American Geosciences
Institute). He will lead exercises to show how attendees can identify their
interests and skills within the realm of geoscience-related career
opportunities, frame their expertise to a job search outside of academia, and
develop a practical outlook regarding employment opportunities and location
constraints.
The IRIS ECI community is uniquely positioned within the geosciences to have a
wide range of employment opportunities, given its strong science and math
skills that are highly sought after and in short supply. Please join us to
discover how talented you are with your geoscience degree, and how to present
your skill set in the best way possible to maximize your employment
opportunities!
This free symposium is scheduled for 8:30-11:30 AM. Attendees should plan to
arrive Saturday night. A complete agenda for the symposium will be updated here
soon:

If you plan to attend, please register by contacting Danielle Sumy (danielle.sumy@gmail.com)
and Andy Frassetto (andyf@iris.edu)
via email. The ECI Working Group also plans to hold a SIG session during the
main workshop. The deadline for general scholarship applications for the
IRIS workshop is this Friday 28th March: https://ssl.iris.edu/meetings/2014/06/iris_workshop_sunriver_oregon/registration/scholarship
