Workshop Leader Career Profiles

Before each year's Early Career Geoscience Faculty workshop, we ask the workshop leaders to describe their careers. Below is the full collection of career profiles from all of these workshop leaders over the years. In these profiles, workshop leaders describe their career paths, teaching challenges they faced early in their careers, how they made the research transition from graduate student to faculty researcher, what advice they have for early career faculty members, and more. You can search the collection by highest degree granted (by their department), by typing text into the search box, or just by browsing.
