UK Antarctic Science Conference 2016

Dear UKPN,

Please see the below from Karen Heywood at UEA- and watch this space should we be able to get a UKPN side meeting organised!

Sammie

Dear UK Polar Network!

We are pleased to announce that the 2016 UK Antarctic Science Conference will be held at the University of East Anglia in July 2016.  The conference will run from lunchtime Tuesday 5th July to lunchtime Thursday 7th July.  We welcome everyone working on Antarctic or Southern Ocean science, including techniques such as in situ measurements, numerical models, laboratory experiments or remote sensing. The conference welcomes all science disciplines, including cryosphere, earth, atmosphere, marine, climate and life sciences.

There are rooms booked for associated meetings Monday - Tuesday and Thursday - Friday, so if you would like to organise a side meeting (e.g. UK Polar Network, Sea Ice group) then please contact us.  Likewise if you are interested in sponsoring the conference or having a stand or display at the conference.

We look forward to welcoming you to Norwich.  Details of conference website, deadlines, registration and abstract submission will follow shortly.

Postdoc Positions in UK Polar Sciences

Dear all,

We hope this email finds you well! On behalf of the UK Polar Network and the UK Arctic and Antarctic Partnership, we are looking into trying to improve support and address current issues for postdocs through this year within the UK research framework, and we'd like to see what the community thinks are the most pertinent questions and issues that are worth tackling.

In this regard, we'd like to ask you, as members of the UK polar sciences community, to fill in a short questionnaire about how organisations like us can better support postdocs in their research and life. Truly, this questionnaire is short! 5 questions are simply clicking boxes, and 2 questions needs a short paragraph--5 minutes max. You can answer this form anonymously, so please be as critical as need be!

The survey is open to anyone in the polar sciences community regardless of current stage of career: It's quite important that we get a variety of responses from as many people as possible. This will feed in to discussions in both UKPN and UKAAP, in which committee members are made up of early careers, senior lecturers and scientists, administrators, and funding agency (e.g. NERC, UKRC) representatives. So what you say will actually be heard by the relevant people that can actually make these changes.

We will keep this form open until the 18th November 2015, giving just under a month for you to fill in your responses.

Lastly, the link to the questionnaire: goo.gl/frJQ2D

Best wishes in your research and postdoc aspirations,

TJ, Anne, Clare and Ruth, on behalf of the UKPN and UKAAP

View this email in your browser 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 IASC Fellowship Program 2016. The IASC Fellowship Program is meant to engage ECS in the work of the IASC Working Groups (WGs): Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social & 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. They are expected to scientifically contribute but also to help organizing specific activities and to coordinate the 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 of contacts and also to develop management skills. The total duration of the IASC Fellowship Program is 1+2 years. In their first year, selected Fellows will receive travel support 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 2 more years without dedicated funding support from IASC and the further involvement is individually decided by the WG Steering Group and the Fellow. For more information please see http://iasc.info/home/iasc/iasc-fellowship-program or contact the IASC Fellowship Coordinator Maja Lisowska: maja.maslowska@gmail.com. For this round of applications, interested ECSs have to fulfill the following criteria: PhD student/candidate or postdoctoral researcher (up to 5 years past the PhD) able to commit to participating in the activities of one of the IASC WGs for at least 12 months from March 2016 to April 2017. able to attend the two upcoming ASSWs: 12–18 March 2016 in Fairbanks (Alaska, USA) and 31 March -7 April 2017 in Prague (Czech Republic) located in an IASC member country (Austria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark / Greenland, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Republic of Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, USA) have a very good command of English How to apply: If you are interested in this amazing opportunity then please send us: A full CV A statement of interest including: your research background why you are interested in becoming an IASC Fellow which IASC WG you would like to join and why you are interested in that particular WG Please send your application to info@apecs.is no later than 12 GMT on 15 November 2015. Successful applicants will be notified before the end of the year.
