Early Career Group
Undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early career researchers are all encouraged to join. In the context of this group, ‘early career’ does not correspond to a fixed definition (e.g., within a fixed number of years post-PhD); rather, if an individual self-identifies as ‘early career’ and perceives a benefit to participating in the Early Career Council, that individual is encouraged to join.
Benefits
The intended benefits of participation in the Early Career Council are to foster closer ties with other early career scientists and with a network of researchers pursuing similarly-themed work, to provide enhanced context and visibility for one’s work and ideas, and to access a mechanism designed to raise the profile of issues that are specific or important to early career scientists. The Early Career Council can bring business before the Steering Committee at any time, can propose new NfoLD initiatives, and can propose for any of the enabling resources that NASA makes available to the RCNs.
