WHAT
The Ice Core Early Career Researchers Workshop (ICECReW) is a professional development workshop for early-career researchers. It will be held in-person at the University of Washington on May 7-8, 2023, prior to the start of the 2nd US Ice Core Open Science Meeting (being held May 8-10). Participants will meet with established researchers to better understand the processes involved in envisioning, planning, and funding ice core projects. This year's workshop focuses on encouraging collaboration and generating proposal ideas.
WHO
ICECReW is intended for early-career researchers whose work contributes to the drilling, processing, or interpretation of ice core data. We broadly define “early career” as someone within 3 years of PhD (before or after completion), although exceptions are welcome. Participants must be affiliated with a U.S. institution to be eligible for travel support.
PURPOSE
The 2023 ICECReW workshop has two primary goals:
- Develop project ideas and write a two-page proposal summary within small, collaborative groups
- Identify opportunities related to ice core drilling projects past and future and network with established and early-career researchers working on ice core related science.
FORMAT
The workshop will be fully in-person. There are approximately 30 in-person spots for early-career researchers. The workshop will engage participants in discussions, group work, and lectures. Established researchers and NSF program officers will be invited to discuss the proposal generation and submission process and to share experiences dealing with proposal review, rejection, and resubmission. A subset of the sessions may be streamed online.
