*Please distribute to postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and faculty.*

*MEOPAR Postdoctoral Awards*

In 2018-19, the Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction and Response
(MEOPAR) Network will offer up to three Postdoctoral Awards. The awards will
provide top-up funding ($20,000/year) to highly-qualified postdoctoral
candidates who have secured a base level of funding from other sources.

Proposed research activities must address MEOPAR’s organizational objective: To
connect partners, resources and expertise to prepare for risks and take
advantage of opportunities in the changing marine environment. Research must be
linked to one of MEOPAR’s four challenge areas:

  *   Ocean Observation;
  *   Forecasting/Projection;
  *   Coastal Resilience; and
  *   Marine Operations/Transportation.

The purpose of these awards is to bring new postdoctoral fellows into the
network and to connect them with MEOPAR-funded researchers and Highly-Qualified
Personnel (HQP). MEOPAR’s top-up funding will empower postdoctoral candidates
to take full advantage of professional development and career-building
opportunities, providing them with the ability to:

  *   Increase their stipend for financial flexibility;
  *   Participate in training and networking opportunities through MEOPAR;
  *   Present and discuss results at national and international conferences and
other fora;
  *   Purchase or fund specialized equipment, travel, or supplies for their
research; or
  *   Offset costs associated with publication.

Application instructions and eligibility criteria are available on MEOPAR’s
website:
http://meopar.ca/programs/training/training-initiatives/

The deadline to apply is 3 July 2018.

Questions about the award may be directed to Laura Avery
