MYRES 2008 Delegate Application

Please Note: The application deadline for MYRES 2008 passed at 11:59 PM GMT on January 22nd 2008

Applications will be accepted between midnight (12am) November 30th 2007 and midnight (12am) January 22nd 2008, GMT

Information for Prospective Applicants

Due to generous help from our sponsors, MYRES will cover airfare and lodging costs for all delegates. To help offset other costs delegates will be charged a minimal registration fee of only $100.

To maximize interactive discussion among attendees the conference will be kept relatively small (~50 delegates). Delegates will be selected through a competitive application process.

Preference may be given to candidates who:

Have active research and/or publications relevant to both geomorphology and ecology

Have received (or will have received) their Ph.D. sometime between June, 2003 and June, 2008.

Please note that applications from tenured faculty or senior lecturers will not be considered.

We have been tasked with ensuring a wide geographic spread of delegates. Applicants from within the USA and EU are welcome, but we will also give strong consideration to applicants living outside of these regions.

For successful applicants, receipt of funding will be conditional upon the delegate providing us with proof that they hold a valid USA entry visa. Applicants from visa waiver countries need only supply us with proof of citizenship: a signed copy of your passport is sufficient.
