Hi all - please see information below about IODP Expedition 375 and a special call for biostratigraphers (especially nanno, foram, and rad specialists). If you have questions about the expedition, please contact the staff scientist Katerina (copied on this message). You should contact your Program Member Officer if you are interested in applying. 

Cheers,

IODP Expedition 375 aims to understand slow slip events at the northeast Hikurangi margin of New Zealand.

The expedition is scheduled to sail 8 March to 5 May 2018, from Wellington to Auckland, NZ.
The chief scientists are Laura Wallace (GNS Science, NZ) and Demian Saffer (Penn State, USA).

Additional information including the Scientific Prospectus are available here:
http://iodp.tamu.edu/scienceops/expeditions/hikurangi_subduction_margin.html

We are in the process of staffing the expedition and do not have sufficient biostratigraphers in the applicant pool.
We are especially interested in scientists with experience in foraminifers, nannofossils, and radiolarians.

If you are interested in sailing, please contact your national IODP office (PMO), contact information of which is provided here:
http://iodp.tamu.edu/participants/applytosail.html

At the moment, the US Science Support Office has chosen not to open this call, so this opportunity is not available to
scientists based at US institutions. However, this may change in a few weeks depending on how staffing progresses.

Deadlines to respond may vary in difference countries but we have asked to receive nominations from PMOs by February 13.

I'm happy to answer any questions if you are interested.
