Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) is seeking nominations for the co-chair positions of SAON CON (Committee on Observations and Networks). These part-time, virtual positions have a start date of 1 November 2021 and are open to all Arctic Council and IASC nations.

The co-chairs set the agenda for the bi-monthly CON meetings and supports objective and workplans directed by the SAON implementation plans. The co-chairs facilitate activities with the SAON community including supporting the ROADS process, and partnering on initiatives with the sister committee, the Arctic Data Committee (ADC). Due to the high level of engagement required, the positions are supported to travel and participate at the ASSW as well as the AOS.

The positions are dynamic, as engagement is required at the international level, participating in forums, networking with multi-sector organizations and events (e.g., Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) and Arctic Observing Summit (AOS)). Together the co-chairs provide leadership for a team of national, organizational, and Arctic Indigenous representatives on observation networks.

SAON invites nominations from national representatives, organization representatives, Arctic Council Permanent Participants, and other Arctic Indigenous representatives. They also encourage individuals from the early career sector who may benefit from opportunities of networking and expanding their professional interactions and opportunities. Compensation can be provided for individuals whose organizations may not have funding capacity to cover time dedicated.

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae to info [at] articobserving.org.
