IAVCEI Early-Career Network call for Portland 2017

Dear Early-Career volcano researchers,
As you are no doubt aware, the IAVCEI 2017 General Assembly will be held in Portland, Oregon, USA, during August 14-18 (see http://iavcei2017.org/ for
more information). The conference organizers are planning a full slate
of activities for Early Career scientists (broadly defined as students
and post-docs, but also potentially including newly hired researchers
and professors), including both social and
professional development events, but we need your help to decide on
discussion topics of the greatest importance. What is it that the
early-career community cares the most about? Subjects might include
getting published, having an impact with your research,
dealing with the media (especially during a crisis), applying for
faculty positions, advising students, career guidance (academia versus
industry versus government science), and so forth.
With this in mind, we
would like to hear opinions from early-career scientists in the
volcanological community on the following questions:
1) If you were to attend a pre-meeting workshop (either a day or a half-day session), what topic would be most useful?
2) If you were to attend
an evening event that included the opportunity to meet with established
scientists to discuss a variety of topics (formatted as a
“speed-dating” style of event), what 5-10 topics should
be represented?
3) If a panel discussion were to be organized, what topic should the panel focus on?
Please send responses to Mike Poland (mpoland@xxxxxxxx), Charlotte Vye-Brown (cvye@xxxxxxxxx) or Sam Poppe (sam35poppe@xxxxxxxxx). Thanks very much for your time—your responses are critical for ensuring that
the IAVCEI 2017 General Assembly will be the best possible forum for Early Career scientists!
Thanks,
Mike Poland
