Professional Development

US-based and Chile-based polar early career researchers attending the 2024 Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Open Science Meeting were welcomed to apply to attend a workshop on establishing international collaborative relationships!  

Join NSF Office of Polar Program (OPP) Program Officers (supported by PSECCO and IARPC Collaborations) to learn how to write a one-pager to summarize an idea you want to pitch to a funding agency. This workshop is open to polar early career scientists and you must have attended the first workshop to attend the second workshop.

Join NSF Office of Polar Program (OPP) Program Officers (supported by PSECCO and IARPC Collaborations) to learn how to write a one-pager to summarize an idea you want to pitch to a funding agency. This workshop series is open to polar early career scientists and will be run in two parts.

“A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for finding the potential in people and processes, and who has the courage to develop that potential.” –Brené Brown

Leaders do not avoid, repress, or deny conflict, but rather see it as an opportunity. -Warren G. Bennis

A leader is best when people barely know they exist. When their work is done, their aim fulfilled, the people will say: we did it ourselves. –Lau Tzu 

Participants will have an opportunity for direct conversation and Q&A on the topic of engagement with scientific coordination bodies.

Participants will discuss the differences and similarities between working as a professional track research scientist versus as a tenure-track/tenured faculty member. Sinéad will share her reflections on working in a variety of research and academic positions over the last 15 years.

Participants will discuss how to broaden the impact of their science, identify effective education and outreach activities that are aligned with the science and participants interest, talk about the broader impacts review criterion from NSF and strategies on how to develop a strong broader impacts plan and develop a draft for their own work.

Participants will converse about science in the public sector of civil service. Caitlyn will prompt discussion and answer questions informed by her research perspective as an employee of the executive branch of the United States federal government.
