Preparing to enter the work force after completing a graduate degree, and building a fulfilling and successful career outside of academia can be daunting and full of uncertainty. There is no ‘one path fits all’ that will lead to your career goals, but one of the best ways to prepare is to learn from others’ experiences.
If you are interested in pursuing a career working for a federal agency, join us on May 22nd from 2:30-4:00 EST/11:30-1:00 PST to meet federal scientists working around the United States and learn about their career paths, work challenges and benefits, ‘a day in their life,’ and advice they wish they would have known as early career scientists.
Individual, prerecorded interviews with each of the 15 panelists will be played for the first hour of the forum, and interviews will be available to watch on this webpage a week before the forum occurs.
A “watch party” of prerecorded interviews with 13 federal scientists will start at 11:30 a.m. PT (2:30 pm ET), with the full panel discussion beginning at 1 pm PT (4 pm ET). After a brief interview with federal career coach, Lilly Whiteman, the panelists will spend the second hour of the forum in discussion with and answering questions from the attendees.
Recorded interviews are available for asynchronous viewing online. Return here or visit our YouTube Channel for the link.
Bring your questions and join in the lively discussion. If you have any questions before the event, please contact Paige Kleindl at pklei007@fiu.edu.
Panelist interviews have been pre-recorded to allow the discussion to focus on audience questions. Please view the prerecorded interviews beforehand or join us for the “watch party” at 11:30 a.m. PT (2:30 pm ET).

The International LTER Network connects national and regional networks similar to our own. In October 2024, the ILTER will hold the third ILTER open science meeting (OSM) in Xishuangbanna, China. In this community call, Tiffany Troxler, Chair of the ILTER and a co-PI with the Florida Coastal Everglades LTER, will discuss the international LTER Network, the upcoming open science meeting, and opportunities to get involved in both or either.
Themes for the ILTER OSM–and topics for discussion on this community call, include:
Sensitivity, mechanisms, and adaptation of biodiversity to climate change
Environmental pollution, ecosystem restoration and management
Social-Ecological Resilience against external shocks from pandemics to climate change
New technologies and infrastructures for ecosystem research
Application of ILTER science to environmental issues
We seek well-qualified and highly motivated undergraduates with interests in biology, chemistry, physics and/or computer science to participate in interdisciplinary oceanographic research.
The Arizona State University (ASU) School of Life Sciences is seeking an Invertebrate Collections Manager (ASU position title: Research Specialist Sr.) for the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Biorepository (https://biorepo.neonscience.org/).
This year, the LTER took a hard look at our challenges and successes, our unique position in the world of ecology, and orchestrated a path towards a vibrant and collaborative future.
