RCN FORECAST has funds to support travel and logistics for 10 students/postdocs to pursue brief exchanges or workshops outside of their home institution in order to learn new statistical and data-model assimilation techniques. Preference will be given to applicants pursuing training that aligns with FORECAST goals, as described below.
Applicants should submit names and information for 3 references, a budget, and a short (300 word limit) proposal describing the logistics and why this opportunity is important for the individual’s education and career goals. The proposal should indicate that prior approval from the proposed lab’s PI has been obtained and when proposed travel would occur. RCN FORECAST will provide up to $2000 to support travel and lodging. Applicant materials and questions should be submitted electronically to Shannon LaDeau ([email protected]) with "FORECAST exchange application_your last name" in the subject line. Application deadline is March 31, 2012. FORECAST encourages applicants from diverse discipline, gender and ethnic groups. FORECAST is a NSF-funded RCN supporting activities with the primary objective of further developing, applying, and promoting ecological forecasting and data assimilation techniques. http://ecolab.ou.edu/?rcn- forecast
