Ship expedition opportunity for ECRs

Hi all,

Our colleagues at the British High Commission Ottawa are launching their Sea Rider competition for ECRs in the UK and Canada. Please see below for their advert and how to apply:

""""
Are you an early-career researcher based at a British or Canadian research institution with an interest in scientific research and polar exploration? Are you curious to experience life at sea?

If so, we invite applications to join the crew of an ice capable ship on a 3–4-day voyage through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, travelling between Québec City, Québec and St. John's, Newfoundland. Taking place in mid-July 2024, this journey will provide early-career researchers in relevant fields with the unique opportunity to experience life on-board a ship that routinely hosts scientists. Participants will meet with some of Canada's premiere Arctic researchers and to learn from the hydrologists, navigators, and mariners onboard. Travel, accommodation, and meals during the trip will be included.

For more information, including eligibility requirements, see the full advert here. Applications will close at 11:59pm PST on 7 June 2024.

Connor
