The Coupled Model Intercomparision Project (CMIP) is pleased to announce an open call for Fresh Eyes on CMIP, CMIP's early career scientist group. This is an exciting opportunity for early career researchers (ECRs) to contribute to and help shape CMIP activities, particularly as CMIP7 progresses.
We are currently inviting applications for a range of leadership roles, and we also warmly encourage ECRs who are not seeking leadership positions to join Fresh Eyes as members.
