COLDEX Early Career Researcher Workshop: *Building Leadership and Team
Skills for Professional Success*
Science is rarely done in isolation; in almost any position, leadership and
management skills are an important contributor to success. Yet, these
skills are seldom discussed as part of an academic education, and often do
not show up in professional trainings for scientists. *This workshop is
designed to give early career researchers hands on techniques to grow
skills in leadership, management and networking. *Topics to be emphasized
include: effective communication with your scientific team (peers,
colleagues, employees, students, bosses, administrators, etc), mentoring in
a way that promotes motivation and trust, guidance in giving and receiving
both positive and negative feedback, and reflection on your own leadership
style.

This workshop aims to develop the next generation of leaders across
geoscience related fields. The workshop is sponsored by The Center for
Oldest Ice Exploration (COLDEX), an NSF Science and Technology Center
formed in 2021 to explore Antarctica for the oldest possible ice core
records of our planet’s climate and environmental history, help make polar
science more inclusive and diverse, and create new exploration technology.
COLDEX is also focused on bringing climate change knowledge to the public
and a variety of other stakeholders, while also understanding how the
scientific knowledge we generate is disseminated through the media, through
social networks, and in other forums.

*Workshop Facilitators: *

*Chris Olex*, The Point. Speaker, trainer, and facilitator specializing in
personal leadership, and team development.

*Dr. Meredith Hastings*, Chair & Professor of Earth, Environmental and
Planetary Sciences at Brown University, Past President of the Earth Science
Women's Network, Co-PI of the ADVANCEGeo Partnership.

*Agenda:*

The workshop will take place across approximately 2.5 days (August 11-13)
at University of Washington in Seattle, WA. Primary topics to do be
explored include defining your leadership style, understanding the
emotional intelligence aspects of effective leadership, examining how you
connect yourself in your profession, and developing skills associated with
giving and receiving feedback and mentorship. *All workshop materials will
be provided and most local costs (e.g., lodging, breakfast and lunches)
will be also covered for participants.*

*Eligibility:*

Approximately 30 participants will be selected to participate in this
professional development workshop via an application process. Applicants
should identify as an early career researcher (e.g., advanced graduate
student, postdoctoral scholar, assistant professor, research scientist,
staff scientist, educator or similar career stage). No specific field of
study is required. Applications will be evaluated based on the applicant's
demonstrated leadership potential via articulation of career goals, how the
workshop can address needed skills and experiences to reach goals, and
current challenges in terms of leadership and management.

Local costs of the workshop will be covered for all participants, including
transportation from the airport, local lodging (near University of
Washington) and most meals. Funding is available on an as-needed basis for
travel to the workshop.

*The deadline for applications is June 15th. Successful applicants will be
notified by July 1st. Apply Now!
