existing gaps in mentorship access for undergraduate and graduate students in the geosciences (including planetary, atmospheric, and ocean sciences). Find out more about the GEMS program at

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">We are recruiting two steering committee members for this program: (1) a member with experience applying to US graduate
programs and fellowships as an international student, and (2) a member experienced in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and geoscience outreach. This is an open-rank opportunity (graduate students through faculty are eligible). These members would join
a team of four existing committee members and play a key role in developing the mentorship program. We anticipate that each member of the committee will serve between 9-12 months. The workload commitment is approximately 1-3 hours per week including a monthly
meeting. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
