GeoNeeds, and is part of
NAGT's On the Cutting Edge Professional Development Program. To host a Fall 2020 workshop,

NAGT's Early Career Geoscience Faculty workshop will be held July 26-30, 2020 (with an optional visit to NSF on July 31) at the University of Maryland, College Park, MD. This annual workshop is designed for those in their first three years of a tenure-track or equivalent position, with priority given to applicants entering their second or third years in their position. The workshop is part the
On the Cutting Edge professional development program for current and future geoscience faculty, and is sponsored by

This workshop is designed specifically for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and others who are interested in pursuing academic careers in the geosciences. Workshop leaders from a variety of institution types and career paths will provide guidance and information that will help participants to be stronger candidates for academic positions and to succeed in academic jobs. The workshop is part of the Earth Educators' Rendezvous, where participants may engage in additional workshops, panels, and plenary sessions. To register, visit the
