Contributions Invited: Pop Up Exhibition at the Arctic Circle Assembly

Dear all, 

We are delighted to invite scientists, artists, storytellers, educators, and innovators to contribute to an Arctic seaweed exhibit at the Arctic Circle Assembly. We are particularly interested in contributions from early career individuals (from any discipline, sector, or geography). 

Our aim is to showcase the beauty and contribution of seaweeds to society across the Arctic and sub-Arctic. The exhibition will be multimedia* and be displayed at the Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik on the 18th of October for Assembly attendees to engage with. 

We welcome submissions from anyone (you do not need to be attending the Assembly or be in Reykjavik to have your media included), but you will be responsible for shipping/bringing your contribution to us in advance of the event. We are able to print posters and small photograph prints on your behalf. You will be credited alongside your contribution. Unfortunately we do not have funding to compensate contributors. 

Please send us your contribution or suggestions by the 30th of September. Email chloebnunn@gmail.com with questions, comments, and/or for a postal address. 

We encourage you to circulate this invitation to your network.

*Possible contributions could include photos, artwork, educational resources, posters (research and/or non-technical), fashion, jewelry, designs, etc.. We are open to your creative ideas!

Kind regards, 

Chloe Nunn, on behalf of the UK Polar Network as exhibition hosts.

UK Polar Network Festival volunteering opportunity - London

Hello UKPN!

 

The UKPN festivals team are excited to announce that the first UKPN science festival event of the new academic year will be happening on Saturday 29th November, as part of our ongoing collaboration with the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London.

 

We are looking for volunteers to help put on the event, including:

•  Setting up and running fun and engaging science-themed activities and experiments
•  A couple of short talks (~15 mins) on life as a polar researcher
•  Being on hand to chat to visitors and answer questions about polar science

 

This will be a great chance to engage a diverse audience of families and young children and potentially inspire the next generation of polar scientists!

 

No experience needed - all we ask is your commitment and enthusiasm. 😊

Food and drink will be provided on the day, along with refunds for travel and accommodation. For more info, and to express interest, see the form at: https://forms.gle/tbg9w7bMsmPHcqco9. Please fill out the form by the 30^th of September.

 

If you are unable to travel to London for this event, do not fear! There will be future events at different locations across the country that you can get involved in.

 

Please contact us at festivals@polarnetwork.org if you have any questions.

 

Best wishes,

Phoebe & Edmund

Two postdocs in ice and ocean modelling at BAS

Dear colleagues,

 

We are currently recruiting two positions in ocean and ice sheet modelling at the British Antarctic Survey:

 

The Greenland Ice/Ocean Modeller role is a 2-year postdoc to advance the UK Earth System Model's representation of Greenland's freshwater release to the ocean, and assess the risk of Greenland triggering a collapse of convection in the North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre: https://bas.ciphr-irecruit.com/applicants/vacancy/820/Greenland-IceOcean-Modeller

 

The Ice Modeller/Emulation Scientist role is a 3-year postdoc to run ice-sheet simulations of key Greenland glaciers, and use AI frameworks to create statistical emulators which will be used to study tipping points in Greenland glaciers: https://bas.ciphr-irecruit.com/applicants/vacancy/821/Ice-ModellerEmulation-Scientist

 

Both posts are funded by new ARIA projects (PROMOTE and GIANT) under the "Forecasting Tipping Points" programme. Interested candidates are very welcome to contact me (chll1@bas.ac.uk) and/or Kaitlin Naughten (kaight@bas.ac.uk) with any questions.

 

With best wishes,

 

Rosie Williams
