Opportunities

The Early Career Faculty Innovator Program funds faculty in the social, policy, and behavioral sciences to co-develop interdisciplinary and actionable research projects in partnership with scientists and engineers here at NCAR. The Program is hosting two events that may be of interest: a full day event featuring presentations from faculty, semi-structured small group discussions, a panel conversation with NCAR collaborators; and then an evening panel geared toward the general public on decision-making and fire evacuations. We would be delighted to have the UCAR member university community join us virtually for these two events. 

• Cohort 2 PI Symposium - The second cohort of the Innovator program is organizing a one-day symposium to showcase their accomplishments in the program and to engage in forging new collaborations in convergence science as their Innovator projects come to an end. The PI Symposium is an all-day event scheduled on Tuesday August 1st beginning at 9 am MT. Participants external to NCAR/UCAR are welcome to attend virtually. Registration is required. More information including an agenda is available on the Innovators webpage. 

• The NCAR Explorer Series is NCAR's public-facing lecture series that highlights the research done at NCAR. Their next event, "Leaving it all behind: Evacuation lessons from wildfires in Colorado" features Cohort 2's Dr. Catrin Edgeley and her project team, scheduled on Wednesday August 2nd at 5:30 pm MT.
