The EGU Education Committee, which coordinates EGU activities mainly related to secondary (high school) and tertiary (post-secondary) education, invites applications from Early Career Scientists for one EGU Education Fellowship for 2023. The fellow will work to capture, synthesize, and disseminate educational resources and opportunities, particularly to those who teach the Earth, planetary, and space sciences at university level, but also to the wider education community, including primary and secondary teachers.

The ideal applicant must have experience teaching geoscience at the university level and conducting geoscience outreach, along with excellent communication skills and enthusiasm for the creative use of social media channels to disseminate geoscience educational developments, innovations, and opportunities. The applicant will have to attend 2023’s Geosciences Information for Teachers (GIFT) workshops (in person or online if applicable). Some involvement or association with national or international academic or student organisations or societies would be preferred.

Applicant must be an Early Career Scientist and must also have written permission from his/her line manager/employer/supervisor to participate (if applicable). The EGU Education Fellow will receive a financial compensation of 2 500 € and will work collaboratively with the EGU Education Committee.

A CV, a written permission to participate (if applicable), and a one-page application (including teaching experience and expertise, and science communication involvement and achievements) should be sent to the Education Committee Chair, Jean-Luc Berenguer, at education@egu.eu by 10 February 2023. The successful applicant will be informed by 24 February 2023.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is Europe’s premier geosciences union, dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the Earth, planetary, and space sciences for the benefit of humanity, worldwide. It is a non-profit interdisciplinary learned association of scientists founded in 2002 with headquarters in Munich, Germany. The EGU publishes a number of diverse scientific journals that use an innovative open access format and organises topical meetings plus education and outreach activities. Its annual General Assembly is the largest and most prominent European geosciences event, attracting more than 14,000 scientists from all over the world. The meeting’s sessions cover a wide range of topics, including volcanology, planetary exploration, the Earth’s internal structure and atmosphere, climate, energy, and resources.
