The Road to Mission Science: Seminars for Students and Early Career Researchers

With support from the ChemCam instrument team on the Mars Curiosity mission, the LPI will be hosting informational webinars for students and early career researchers who have an interest in becoming involved in current or future planetary missions. Undergraduate and graduate students, post-docs, and early career scientists are invited to join us for a discussion of how to prepare, both academically and professionally, for a career in mission science. We will also share opportunities for getting involved!

The virtual events will feature a panel of mentors and mission scientists who will share their backgrounds, experiences, and recommendations. As we strive to increase the awareness and accessibility of mission science careers, we will describe the ongoing and upcoming missions, roles within missions, and ways that students can become involved. These seminars will also provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions and make connections with mission scientists.

The first event in this series will be held virtually on Tuesday, May 10, at 2:00 p.m. CDT. The program is free to attend and open to everyone, but registration is required.
