Career Center
There will be a Career Center set up, where students and early career professionals can meet each other and the ASLO Board Representatives in a fun, relaxed setting. This center will host the Career Bulletin Board, where prospective employers are invited to post job announcements and students and early career professionals are invited to post a one-page CV. Students should also stop by for information and to sign up for the Career Development Workshops and student social events. The Career Center will also feature a Book Raffle – items and raffle boxes will be displayed all week and the drawing will be held on Thursday evening. See below for other Early Career events.
Student Career Development Workshops
Student Career Development Workshops will be held over lunch on two days of the meeting. These are informal workshops led by senior scientists on a variety of topics relating to careers in the aquatic sciences. A range of topics will be covered to address different career paths in the aquatic sciences, skills or expertise important for these careers, and strategies for successfully competing for jobs, grants, or fellowships. A limited number of lunches will be provided. Please stop by the Student Career Center at the meeting for more information.
Roommates Wanted
Roommates Wanted is a free online service to ASLO students and early career members who are seeking roommates during meetings. To participate, visit http://www.aslo.org/meetings/roommates.html. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of this service since hotel costs in Nice will be high.
