InSightSeer Program Indication of Interest for Fall 2021 Science Team Meeting
The InSight team is recruiting a third round of “𝗜𝗻𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀”. This is a program intended to expose early career scientists to the experience of working on an interplanetary mission science team. We are inviting a select number of senior graduate students and early career scientists to observe our next mission science team meeting. They will be paired with a mentor from the science team and allowed to observe the virtual science team meeting in its entirety from October 25-29, 2021. We hope that this will provide valuable insight (ha) into the work and team dynamics that take place on missions and help early career scientists make informed decisions about their career paths.

This opportunity is open to graduate students in or beyond their third year of postgraduate studies (PhD or Master’s) and early career scientists within seven years of receiving their post-graduate degree. InSight is an international team and we welcome international applicants. Interested candidates should fill out this google form and include a short description of their background and research interests, how such an experience could be of benefit to them, and any special interests in particular areas of the InSight mission. Respondents will be selected based upon the anticipated impact to their career path and the alignment of their research interests with the scientific objectives of the mission. Research interests are not limited to Mars-related science, but ideally should be aligned with at least one topical area related to the mission (see examples in form). The InSight team recognizes and supports the benefits of having diverse and inclusive communities and expects that such values will be reflected in this opportunity. Questions can be sent to sabine@jhu.edu with the subject line “InSightSeers”.

Applicants should be prepared to commit their time for the meeting itself, which is Mon October 25 - Friday October 29, approximately 3 hours/day that will be scheduled during regular working hours in US and central European time zones. There will also be a welcome session approximately 2 hours long sometime in the previous week and individually scheduled meetings with mentors.

This form indicating your interest must be filled out by 17 September 2021.
