Call for Applications – IODP3 Science Evaluation Panel Members
Call for applications to serve as a member of the IODP3 Science Evaluation Panel (Science and Site subgroups) now open!
The Science Evaluation Panel (SEP) is central to the success of IODP3 and is responsible for the evaluation and selection of the best and most relevant proposals to forward to the IODP3 MSP Facility Board for development of expedition schedules. SEP members are drawn from the international scientific ocean drilling communities in IODP3 Core and Associate Member nations.
To evaluate the scientific and site characterisation aspects of drilling/coring proposals, SEP members are assigned to two subgroups: SEP-Science and SEP-Site.
In this call, IODP3 is seeking applications from active leading scientists in the fields of marine geology and geophysics from our Core Member nations (i.e., the 15 ECORD nations and Japan) to join either the SEP-Science or SEP-Site Subgroups. The call is open to scientists with experience in all relevant research fields, but we particularly seek experts in biogeoscience, sedimentology, low-temperature geochemistry and paleoceanography for SEP-Science membership, and in the interpretation of marine seismic reflection data for SEP-Site membership. Applications for membership of both SEP subgroups from Japanese scientists are also encouraged, to redress current under-representation of Japan.
For more information please read the full call available below. You can also read the SEP terms of reference here.
Applications from Scientists based in IODP3 Core Member nations must be submitted by Friday 31 January 2025 using the IODP3 Gateway system, accessed via Apply to Participate on the IODP3 webpage.
The IODP3 Gateway is currently in the final stages of development and is not currently active. It will be ready in late December 2024 and its opening will be announced on the IODP3 website homepage. Application materials may therefore be prepared in readiness for submission once the system becomes active using our Guide for Applicants.
