BAS Job Postings

Hi UKPN,

I hope you're all enjoying a great holiday, so sorry for the deluge of emails - but over a dozen great jobs/PhDs/field assistant positions based from the British Antarctic Survey (based both in Cambridge and in many parts of the Antarctic) were just posted on the APECS jobs site. I thought I'd give you a heads up so you can check them out when you have a free moment.

Make sure to tell them you found out about it through APECS & UKPN!

Happy Holidays,

Re potential lectureships/fellowships in cryospheric research at Edinburgh University

The School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh is looking to recruit up to five new tenure-track posts (Chancellor's Fellowships). These positions are aimed at early-career individuals who have begun to establish a reputation for the highest quality research and who have a commitment to teaching at university level. One of the areas that the School is prioritising for recruitment is in 'Remote Sensing of the Cryosphere'. However, as you will see from the links below, outstanding applicants in any area of the School's research activity are encouraged to apply and I therefore encourage cryospheric scientists to consider this open opportunity to strengthen the 'icy' research undertaken here at Edinburgh University.

Please follow the links below for further details and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries.

Cheers and festive greetings,

Pete Nienow

Subject: Conquering the Antarctic - UK concert tour
To: Alexandra Marshall <amarshall@cls.co.uk>

I wanted to draw your attention to our UK concert tour Conquering the
Antarctic, which aims to celebrate the centenary of Captain Scott's
arrival at the South Pole through music, words and photographs.

Leading UK chamber orchestra, City of London Sinfonia, in partnership
with the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, are
embarking on a landmark concert tour in February 2012 to celebrate the
centenary of the expedition of Captain Scott to the South Pole.

Celebrating the epic adventure of the explorers, including
Cheltenham-born Edward Wilson, the orchestra will perform extracts
from Vaughan Williams' iconic film score Scott of the Antarctic,
interspersed with moving readings from Scott's diary and letters. The
concert includes the world premiere of Cecilia McDowall's new piece,
Seventy Degrees Below Zero, setting music to words inspired by Scott's
poignant final letters, as well as projections of stunning expedition
photographs by Herbert Ponting, restored to their original glory.

I am attaching a press release which details all the concert dates and
venues for the tour.

If you would like some flyers to display/distribute for the tour or
require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

All best
Alexandra
