The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC), in cooperation with the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS), invites Early Career Scientists (ECS) to apply for the 2019 IASC Fellowship Program.

The IASC Fellowship Program is meant to engage ECSs in the work of the IASC Working Groups (WGs): Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social and Human, and Terrestrial. Each year, one Fellow per WG is chosen.

IASC Fellows are doctoral or postdoctoral researchers who actively participate in selected activities of the IASC WGs. Fellows are expected to contribute scientifically and also to help organize specific activities and to help with reporting to the IASC Secretariat. Thus, the Fellowship Program provides the opportunity for ECSs to become involved in leading-edge scientific activities at a circumarctic and international level, to build an international network, and also to develop management skills.

During the first year of the Fellowship, travel support will be provided for Fellows to attend two consecutive Arctic Science Summit Weeks (ASSWs) where the annual WG meetings are held. After the first year, Fellows have the opportunity to stay involved for up to two more years without dedicated funding support from IASC. The travel support during the first fellowship year is the only financial remuneration for the Fellows. Salary is not included during the fellowship.

For this round of applications, interested ECSs must have the following:

  • PhD student/candidate or postdoctoral researcher (up to five years past terminal degree);
  • Ability to commit to participating in the activities of one of an IASC WG for at least one year;
  • Ability to attend the two upcoming ASSWs: 22-30 May 2019 in Arkhangelsk, Russia and 27 March-2 April 2020 in Akureyri, Iceland;
  • Be located at an institution in an IASC member country; and
  • Have a good command of English.

Applicants must complete the online application form and upload a curriculum vitae as a PDF file. Applicants have problems accessing or submitting the form can contact Gerlis Fugmann, APECS Executive Director, at info [at] apecs.is to receive a Word version of the form.

Webinar:
Current IASC Fellows are planning a webinar in November to showcase experience as IASC Fellows and some of the projects the Fellows have been able to work on. More information will be made available over IASC and APECS' email lists.
