Learn How to Apply for Grants from National Geographic

Join National Geographic Society staff to learn about grant funding opportunities primarily for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.  Hear about our Early Career Grants, which give individuals the chance to lead their first field project.  We have funds dedicated to supporting projects focused on marine and coastal issues in the Pacific Northwest, but give grants in other disciplines as well.

Employment Opportunities

TA for the Master of Data Science

Master of Data Science is recruiting graduate students (but would also consider top notch undergraduates) to TA for the Master of Data Science courses next year. They are looking for strong computational/Data Science students.

Tiffany Timbers writes: If your students (or others in EOS) need TAships and are computationally strong, could you please ask them to fill out our application form:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScvRxGRlRn3HS_OqAjIncd1BywltpfWUwpoJqGbb-5mNaxuGA/viewform

Also, to help them suggest which courses they might be able to TA, here is our list of courses: https://ubc-mds.github.io/descriptions/

We are on the block system, and so each course lasts one month. We ideally want 12 hour/wk TA commitments per course. We welcome students TAing multiple courses. Our blocks fall roughly under these dates:

Block 1: Sept

Block 2: Oct - mid Nov

Block 3: mid Nov - mid Dec
