[ECOLOG-L] Wetland Ambassadors Program- Call for Research Mentors

[Bianca Wentzell]

Last call for applications!

The Society of Wetland Scientists is looking for Research Mentors for our
2019 Wetland Ambassadors Program!  The SWS Wetland Ambassadors Program is
an international student research program in which graduate students
participate in a visiting research fellowship at an institution outside
their home country that features rigorous wetland research in the student’s
area of interest.  One of the goals of the program is to provide students
living in developing countries opportunities to conduct novel wetland
research and be encouraged by expert wetland scientists.



Serving as a research mentor can be a unique and valuable opportunity for
you to make progress in your wetlands research with the assistance of a
graduate student (a.k.a. Wetland Ambassador) who possesses a different
perspective.  And, as equally important, it can foster research connections
and collaborations with the student’s home base.  Not to mention, your
mentorship will also help to guide a selected Wetland Ambassador as they
continue to pursue their career in wetland science.



Wetland Ambassadors will be supported by the Society of Wetland
Scientists.  However, we also ask that Research Mentors work with their
matched Wetland Ambassador to connect them with in-kind services at their
institution, such as housing and meals for the duration of the fellowship,
if possible.



If you are interested in applying to be a Research Mentor and you will be
available to host a student in your laboratory/workplace during the
upcoming summer of 2019, please complete the below, brief application
by *Friday,
September 28th at 11:59pm EST*.  The form includes space for a biography,
project idea, and current funding.  Filling out the form does not commit
you to serving as a research mentor, but means that you would like to be
placed on a list that will be distributed with our application announcement
to graduate students in the fall.  Our research mentor selection committee
will alert you of your status by mid-October.



We look forward to hearing from you!
