RBR2020 Cohort
The RBR2020 cohort is now closed. Thank you to all who participated. Stay tuned for updates.
RBR2020 Cohort Details
Open to early-career researchers (post-doctoral scientists/engineers and pre-tenured faculty), the RBR2020 cohort will bring together scientists from around the world to enable innovative ocean measurements through collaborative workshops, technical developments, demonstration programs, and SciComm mentorship. The early-career ocean scientists and engineers selected for the cohort will participate in a two-year program to develop their project ideas, enable measurements, and expand their research network with special support from RBR and established mentors.
During the two-year program, cohort members will have the opportunity to:
- Borrow RBR equipment for proof-of-concept deployments to motivate future projects and proposal.
- Spend a week at RBR’s headquarters working with scientists, engineers, and calibration technicians to develop and test new ideas with RBR sensors, loggers, and systems.
- Leverage preferred RBR2020 cohort pricing for all collaborators on large proposals.
- Earn a $1,000 travel stipend to present research at international conferences.
- Receive consultation from SciComm professionals and mentorship by established scientists to develop communications plan, expand research network, pitch ideas, find future collaborators/funders, and communicate results and value with media.
