Early Career Scientist representative for the Seismology Division
Why not take your career one step further? The Seismology Division within the European Geosciences Union is looking for an enthusiastic person to take the role of Early Career Scientist representative for the young generation of seismologists. Making awesome science is very important, but the scientific community does not only need good scientists but also community representatives and leaders. Get first hand experience of what it involves to be part of a large organization. Get the opportunity to meet great established scientists and make new friends who can be future colleagues.
Whether you are a PhD student or a Post Doc, being an Early Career Scientist (ECS) representative does not mean it will interfere with your work. To the contrary, it is a great opportunity to expand your horizons, interact with a large network of researchers in your field, build on your communications skills, boost your CV and influence the activities of Europe’s largest geoscientific association.
The role can take on a variety of tasks, according to your areas of expertise and interest. These can include (but aren’t limited to): organizing events for early career scientists at the annual General Assembly, outreach to early career scientists and the wider public through social media or the division blog, or establishing a mentoring programme for other early career scientists.
