OCB Postdoc Exchange!
A key objective of OCB is to train the next generation of ocean scientists and engage early career scientists in OCB and partner program meetings and training courses by providing travel and tuition support, networking, and mentoring opportunities.
Recent examples of early career support and engagement include:
-
Early Career Research Fellowship Program, Honolulu, HI. Link: https://www.schooljobs.com/careers/hawaiiedu/jobs/4024095/asst-researcher-11-mo-pos84552t-and-84566t Close date; Closed until positions are filled. Review of applications begin June 26, 2023
- June 2-15, 2023: The UNOLS Arctic Icebreaker Coordinating Committee (AICC), with support from the NSF Office of Polar Programs, is offering a 2023 Arctic Chief Scientist Training Cruise program for early career researchers. This program includes a series of informational and pre-cruise planning meetings held virtually in March through May, 2023, followed by an on-site orientation in Seward, Alaska and week-long transit and survey on the R/V Sikuliaq between Seward and Nome (travel dates: June 2-15, 2023). Deadline to apply February 22

While we do not entertain individual requests for travel support, early career support is a high priority of bulk travel support requests submitted to OCB (see below for current opportunities). OCB strives to highlight the work of students and postdocs at its meetings and provide opportunities for interacting with federal agency managers and other scientists. OCB also maintains an early career position on its Scientific Steering Committee (SSC).
