LISTSERV 16.0 - GEOED-RESEARCH Archives

Dear GeoEd Colleagues,

I hope this finds you well and safe. I am excited to pass along the following opportunity to this list, as it would be fantastic for a geoscience educator to be selected to join us in the Texas A&M University College of Geosciences. These fellowships are open-field, so GeoEd people from atmospheric sciences, oceanography and geography would be welcome along with those with more of a solid-earth focus. If you have a senior doctoral student or postdoc in your circle who you think would be a strong applicant, please pass this along. Prospective candidates can either reach out to our Assistant Dean for Diversity, Dr. Casellas Connors in the College office with questions, or to me if they have any general questions.

Thanks,

Eric Riggs
