SUMMARY:Your Career\, Your Community
DESCRIPTION:As a PhD student or postdoc would you like to use your expertise to work on local projects that you can then leverage for future career opportunities? A collaboration between Cornell’s Careers Beyond Academia and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County is offering lunch and a chance to hear about current local opportunities as well as a chance to tell us what you are interested in working on. We can then take those interests back to the county and city administrators and work with you and them to develop projects. \nFriday\, January 24 @ 11:30 to 1 pm in 100 Mann Library \nTo Register \nWe will share existing project opportunities focused on the environment\, but these are continually expanding. Furthermore\, you can come to us with your interests and academic specializations to have a conversation about what you’d like to work on in the local community (health\, incarceration\, transportation\, food systems\, opioids\, energy\, strategic tourism\, early childhood…). \nCome and join us for lunch on 1/24 from 11:30 AM to 1 PM in 100 Mann Library. There will be a presentation from 11:30 to about 12 and the rest of the time for (more) eating\, talking and sharing of ideas. If you can’t make it until after 12 no problem\, we can catch you up.

SUMMARY:Your Career\, Your Community
DESCRIPTION:As a PhD student or postdoc would you like to use your expertise to work on local projects that you can then leverage for future career opportunities? A collaboration between Cornell’s Careers Beyond Academia and Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County is offering lunch and a chance to hear about current local opportunities as well as a chance to tell us what you are interested in working on. We can then take those interests back to the county and city administrators and work with you and them to develop projects. \nFriday\, January 24 @ 11:30 to 1 pm in 100 Mann Library \nTo Register \nWe will share existing project opportunities focused on the environment\, but these are continually expanding. Furthermore\, you can come to us with your interests and academic specializations to have a conversation about what you’d like to work on in the local community (health\, incarceration\, transportation\, food systems\, opioids\, energy\, strategic tourism\, early childhood…). \nCome and join us for lunch on 1/24 from 11:30 AM to 1 PM in 100 Mann Library. There will be a presentation from 11:30 to about 12 and the rest of the time for (more) eating\, talking and sharing of ideas. If you can’t make it until after 12 no problem\, we can catch you up. \nInternship Opportunities to grow your public policy resume by working in local government\nWith an increase in harmful algal blooms (HABs) across New York\, in 2018 Governor Cuomo allocated $65 million to address the issue. Action Plans were drafted for 12 priority waterbodies\, including our local Cayuga Lake. The Harmful Algal Bloom Action Plan – Cayuga Lake (Action Plan) provides extensive detail on the lake background\, designated uses\, water quality conditions\, and sources of pollutants and includes a priority projects list (Section 13.3). \nCornell PhD students or postdocs working on projects related to the action plan would be supporting Tompkins County and be working with the oversight of the county’s Department of Planning and Sustainability.  FYI on HABs: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/04/lethal-algae-blooms-an-ecosystem-out-of-balance \nBenefits to you:\n\nHave ownership of a deliverable you can later leverage for employment and research funding.\nMentorship by county staff and also community stakeholders; real-world experience of local government operations and community work.\nFlexibility over when to work remotely and when to work on-site or in the county office. Interns will typically have the freedom to work by themselves at their own pace but with support from supervisors and community stakeholders.\nDiscover local research opportunities that can have a real impact and take the lead on directing research and funding proposals towards those.\nDepending on the project and discussions with supervisors\, weekly hours and duration can be designed to fit with your schedule (while also being compliant with Cornell regulations). 5-8 hours per week work is a ballpark figure but a lot of flexibility on that.  These projects do not work on a semester basis so duration can be adjusted to fit work volume\, travel\, etc.\n\nMore details on three possible projects…\n\n\n\n\nGrant Writing:\nMost action plans around the lake require additional funding. NYS has a consolidated funding application for all state grants\, typically with the same annual application cycle (open in May\, deadline in July). Local partners would benefit from delegating grant writing responsibilities to an intern who would develop skills on defining a project and developing a work plan\, timeline\, and budget. The intern could also research other funding options to cover cost share (local match) required for most grants. This project develops vital grant writing skills and will enable you to demonstrate your ability to work with diverse stakeholders. Depending on skill set and interest—and with the agreement of the grant team–the intern could possibly write themselves into the grant for future funded work. Timeline would be aiming for grant submission in the summer.\n\nResearching and Recommending Best Management Practices:\nHABs are on the increase nation- and world-wide. It is valuable to understand what best management practices (BMPs) are most effective at reducing the occurrence of HABs. The intern would research how other phosphorus-impaired watershed are prioritizing funding and lake and watershed management and would develop recommendations for local partners. This project\, as with other projects focused on HABs\, enables you to demonstrate your ability to work with diverse non-university stakeholders. Not only is this valuable for future applications to work with state-level bodies etc.\, but Intern work with community stakeholders can lead to paid consultancy work once value has been demonstrated. Timeline and deliverables in terms of report length and so on to be determined in conversation with county partners.\n\nEvaluating Existing Best Management Practices for the Watershed:\nThe intern would use stream data and best management practices to assess effectiveness of BMPs to improve water quality and would develop recommendations for local partners (putting real numbers on what\, how many\, and where in the watershed BMPs would be needed to reduce phosphorus levels by what amount). This kind of BMP work on watershed management is critical to environmental management across the US. This is an opportunity to gain expertise and demonstrate value at both an academic and implementation level to seed future work. Timelines and the specifics of deliverables—beyond the indicated recommendations—are to be determined through discussion with county (but could start immediately).\n\n\n\nFor more information please contact our collaborator: \nChris Kai-Jones\, PhD\, MSW\, Student and Community Coordinator\nCornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County\nHouse Fellow and Visiting Lecturer\, Cornell University\nchj7@cornell.edu      phone: 607 280-5846

SUMMARY:Baptism by fire: Oh I mean a systematic approach to talking good
DESCRIPTION:Science is so much more than lab tests\, experiments and analysis – it’s about our ability to resonate with peers\, media\, decision makers\, industry\, and the public. Perhaps more than ever\, communicating our science effectively and succinctly can be the difference between making an impact vs. missing opportunities to make the world a better place. This workshop will focus on science communication – drawing from lessons learned and hands-on training opportunities. Case studies\, data on communication\, and the “message box” will be discussed\, all in a highly participatory and interactive way. All fields are welcome — from novices to experts — and be prepared to be an active participant! \nDr. Ben Houlton is the Director of the John Muir Institute of the Environment at the University of California. This  two-hour workshop for graduate students and post docs will focus on science communication and being an effective scientist in the 21st century. \nTo register please contact Jed Sparks jps66@cornell.edu \nHosted by Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Careers Beyond Academia/BEST.  See more events here

SUMMARY:Professional photographs
DESCRIPTION:Careers in Academia / BEST is bringing back award winning portraitist Roger William Theise to take a professional headshot so you can look your best for your LinkedIn profile\, and more. \nDress professionally and be prepared to arrive 10 minutes early for your appointment. One reminder will be sent the Monday before confirming your time slot. If your schedule changes unexpectedly\, please be sure to notify us so someone else can take your reserved slot. In the past we have been able to accommodate a few walk-ins. \nMessage from the photographer:\n“Your session will be to create a high quality classic studio portrait\, so looking your best is important. It is also very important to wear or bring long sleeves. A tie and jacket\, or blazer and blouse is always a good choice\, along with any type of business or office attire that demonstrates professionalism. Jewelry and makeup tend to photograph very well. \nDarker outer solids tend to photograph exceptionally well on just about everyone. \nPlease try to avoid any bright\, overly saturated colors\, polka dots\, or distracting stripes & patterns. (If this is your regular established style\, then choose the very best\, least distracting and go with it!) \nClothing with commercial logos or any element that would diminish the professionalism in your appearance should be totally avoided as they not appropriate for this type of portrait. \nYour portrait should convey an accurate reflection of your own style and character while meeting the expectations of your goals for future professional positions\, symposiums\, or current establishment of an upgraded profile image. \nKeep in mind that your portrait may have several years or more of useful longevity\, so please choose attire that would allow you to feel your very best for a portrait. Rest assured\, I will purpose to create a portrait you like\, and you will have the opportunity to personally select a pose or smile that you are pleased with. \nSee you there! \nRoger William Theise\nAward Winning Portraitist
