Application Deadline:  July 23, 2014

JOIDES Resolution Education Officers have the opportunity to learn shipboard science alongside the expedition’s science party and translate their learning experiences for students, families and the general public through creation of blogs, videos, social networking sites, live video events from the ship and development of classroom resources. All expenses for U.S. Education Officers for travel to and from the ports of call, and a stipend, are paid by IODP Education. Education Officers are selected through a competitive application and interview process. Successful applicants will also be flown to a 3-day group training session prior to their expedition.

They are now accepting applications from U.S. educators for the following expeditions:

Expedition 353: Indian Monsoon Rainfall: 29 November 2014 - 19 January 2015

Expedition 354: Bengal Fan: 29 January - 31 March, 2015
