New to planning shipboard field work? Wondering how to request research vessel time or specific pieces of equipment? Need samples or data to initiate a research project? If so, you may want to apply to participate in the 2017 UNOLS Great Lakes Chief Scientist Training Cruise.
Funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the cruise and pre-cruise information workshop will instruct early career marine scientists, including PhD students, post docs, and first- or second-year faculty members, on how to effectively plan for, acquire and utilize time at sea for multidisciplinary research and education.
The program will occur from June 6 to June 12, 2017, and will include a four-day cruise on the University of Minnesota’s R/V Blue Heron on Lakes Superior and Michigan, as well as a pre-cruise workshop. The program will start in Duluth, Minn., home port of the R/V Blue Heron, and end in Milwaukee, Wis.
Small stipends are provided for participant travel costs, research supplies and shipping.
Space is limited. To be considered, applicants must be an employee or student (U.S. Citizen or permanent resident) at a U.S. institution or a U.S. citizen working abroad, and submit applications by April 21, 2017. The application form is available here.
