ECN – Early Career Scientist Network

We are calling for new members for 2024!  Apply here

Welcome to the FLUXNET Early Career Scientist Network (ECN) (formerly known as Young Scientist Network (YSN)), a community of about 200+ people consisting of students (~58%), postdocs (~27%) and other early-career scientists (~14%) from more than 50 countries (Figure 1).

This network aims to connect early career scientists working within the FLUXNET community and the regional networks.  The ECN includes students (from undergraduate to Ph.D.), postdocs, and other early-career scientists, who do not lead their own research groups and who are not the main supervisor of Ph.D. students.

The FLUXNET ECN provides an informal exchange platform for questions regarding research, career, and funding opportunities for early-career scientists. Furthermore, early-career scientists can present themselves and connect to colleagues through this network. Last but not least, the ECN aims to bridge the gap to experienced researchers by integrating early-career scientists actively into the international research community.

The FLUXNET ECN consists of a mailing list and an interactive Web site (under construction). To participate in the network, please register at the Early Career Scientist Mailing List Subscription. After completing your registration, you will receive an email with further instructions. More information on the ECN can be found in the October 2009 (page 9) and April 2011 (pages 4–5) issues of FluxLetter, and the 2012 issue of iLEAPS Newsletter.
