Below please find information on three professional development workshops this Wednesday at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco. Everyone is welcome. No registration is required. These workshops are possible by a partnership between ESWN and AGU Education.</p>

How do you make your proposal as NSF-savvy as possible? How do you best describe your broader impacts? What is cutting edge in data management? How do you identify the best program for application? How do you access available education and outreach funds? There are always new initiatives starting at NSF, beyond core programs. How do you identify and apply for these opportunities? How are initiatives different than core programs? How can you design effective integrated research? Answer these questions and meet in small groups with Program Officers, get to know what they are looking for, and learn how to ask the right questions, give the right answers, and get funded. This workshop is open to all AGU Fall Meeting attendees and will be particularly helpful to early-career to midcareer participants, especially graduate students, post-docs, researchers, and tenure-track faculty thinking about applying for NSF funding for the first time. Co-sponsored by ESWN and AGU Education.</p>

<p style="background-color:rgb(251,251,251)">The tenure track can seem mysterious: a few crucial years where new professors build a research program, develop a teaching portfolio, and hope to be promoted. In this workshop, we aim to de-mystify the process, and share secrets to success. This workshop is geared towards assistant professors on the tenure-track now, as well as grad students and post-docs considering an academic career; all are invited. This workshop is possible through a partnership of the Earth Science Women’s Network and AGU Education.</p>

Wednesday, 11 December 2013<br style>1500-1700h<br style>San Francisco Marriott Marquis – Golden Gate A</p><p style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">Fieldwork is an essential component for many in the geosciences, and it provides opportunity for gaining skills in everything from temporal and spatial reasoning to organization, planning and preparation. There are many challenges associated with fieldwork, including physical, economical, managerial, and legal. This workshop will provide a panel discussion on the challenges, benefits, and strategies to being successful at planning, leading, and completing fieldwork in a variety of settings. The workshop is co-sponsored by ESWN, the Association for Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), and AGU Education.</p>
