19 – 21 November 2024, 1:00pm – 4pm ET
NASA's Physics of the Cosmos Program, together with the Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group Executive Committee, are excited to invite you to the first Early Career Workshop, designed to support and empower the next generation of astrophysics leaders and PIs.
The workshop aims to provide insights to early career scientists about the fascinating work done in the Physics of the Cosmos Program, explain and demonstrate the tools and opportunities available to them, and answer any questions they may have.
This workshop will take place on November 19 – 21, 2024 at 1 – 4pm Eastern and it will be fully remote. The first day will focus on Science, the second day on Missions, and the third day on Careers.
Participants will engage in interactive sessions covering topics such as grants, data archives, and career development strategies.
Whether you are a graduate student, postdoc, or early-career researcher, you will find this workshop beneficial for your professional growth.
Please use this form to register and let us know if you like to present your work during the Science or the Mission sessions of the workshop.
