CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
ECORD Facility Board of IODP³
DEADLINE to apply: 31srt January 2025
The MSP Facility Board (MSP-FB) fulfils the critical function of making decisions on the most effective use of resources to plan the schedule of IODP³ expeditions for successive years of operations.
Within the MSP-FB, the Science Board plays a key role in decision-making and consists of leading scientists drawn from the international scientific ocean drilling communities. The composition of the MSP-FB Science Board is:
• the two MSP-FB Co-Chairs (one from ECORD and one from Japan)
• six members from ECORD and Japan as IODP³ Core Members
• up to four members from IODP³ Associate Members
In this call, IODP³ is seeking applications from active leading scientists from our Core and Associate Member nations to join the MSP-FB Science Board for a three-year term. The call is open to scientists with experience in all research fields relevant to scientific ocean drilling science. The MSP-FB convenes once annually in person to execute its mandate, but additional virtual meetings may be organised as appropriate. In-person meetings will alternate between venues in ECORD member countries and Japan.
Applications must be submitted by Friday 31 January 2025 using the IODP3 Gateway system, accessed via Apply to Participate on the IODP3 webpage.
The IODP3 Gateway is currently in the final stages of development and is not currently active. It will be ready in late December 2024 and its opening will be announced on the IODP3 website homepage. Application materials may therefore be prepared in readiness for submission once the system becomes active using our Guide for Applicants.
