  1. Martha T. Muse Prize for Science and Policy in Antarctica
    Tinker Foundation
    Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research

The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) seeks nominations
for the 2015 'Martha T. Muse Prize for Science and Policy in Antarctica'.

The prize is a USD $100,000 unrestricted award presented to an
individual in the fields of Antarctic science or policy who has
demonstrated potential for sustained and significant contributions that
will enhance the understanding and/or preservation of Antarctica. The
Prize is inspired by Martha T. Muse's passion for Antarctica and is
intended to be a legacy of the International Polar Year 2007-2008.

The prizewinner can be from any country and work in any field of
Antarctic science or policy. The goal is to provide recognition of the
important work being done by the individual and to call attention to the
significance of understanding Antarctica in a time of change. The Prize
is awarded by the Tinker Foundation and administered by the Scientific
Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).

Nomination deadline: 13 May 2015.

  1. SCAR and COMNAP Antarctic Research Fellowships 2015
    CCAMLR Scientific Scholarships 2015

The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the Council of
Managers of National Antarctic Programmes (COMNAP) and the Commission
for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) are
working together to attract talented early career researchers,
scientists, engineers and other professionals to strengthen
international capacity and cooperation in fields such as climate,
biodiversity, conservation, humanities and astrophysics research.

SCAR and COMNAP have again joined forces to launch fellowships for early
career researchers. The SCAR and COMNAP fellowships are worth up to USD
$15,000 each and up to six fellowships in total are on offer for 2015.
The fellowships enable early career researchers to join a project team
from another country, opening up new opportunities and often creating
research partnerships that last many years and Antarctic research
seasons. The deadline for SCAR and COMNAP applications is 3 June 2015.

For more information on the SCAR and COMNAP Fellowships, visit the SCAR
website at: http://www.scar.org/awards/fellowships/information.html or
the COMNAP website at: www.comnap.aq/SitePages/fellowships.aspx.

The SCAR and COMNAP opportunity is being launched in conjunction with
CCAMLR's Scientific Scholarship. The CCAMLR Scholarship provides funding
of up to AUD $30,000 to assist early career scientists to participate in
the work of the CCAMLR Scientific Committee and its working groups over
a period of two years. The scholarship was established in 2010 and a
maximum of three awards will be made in 2015. The objective is to build
capacity within the CCAMLR scientific community to help generate and
sustain the scientific expertise needed to support the work of CCAMLR in
the long-term. The deadline for CCAMLR applications is 1 October 2015.
