Hi all,
We are currently looking for new members to join the UK Polar Network committee for the 2024/25 year (September 2024 to August 2025). All the information you need can be found on our website https://polarnetwork.org/about-ukpn/join-the-committee/
The UK Polar Network is a group of early career polar researchers with around 500 members from aspiring undergraduates through to postdoctoral researchers, and polar scientists working in industry. We are the UK's National Committee of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and throughout the year, we organise skill and career development events for polar early career researchers, education and outreach events, and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in polar science. Over the past year, we have delivered a polar training in Dartmoor to 20 polar early career researchers, organised a workshop that brought together LGBTQ+ and ethnic minority ECRs to discuss barriers around funding and navigating fieldwork, coordinated over 1000 flags from 290 schools heading down to Antarctica, attended science festivals and conferences, with many more projects planned for the next academic year.
We are currently searching for enthusiastic early career individuals to fill the positions of EDI officers, Festivals Officers, Polar Beers Officer, Social Media Officers, Marketing Officers and Webmaster. All positions are voluntary, with differing time commitments and flexibility. Further descriptions of each role and the role requirements can be found on the webpage above.
The application form is available on the webpage above, and the deadline is the 14th August 2024. If you have any questions, please reach out to president@polarnetwork.org.
Please do share this opportunity widely across your networks!
Kind regards,
Sam & Connor
UKPN Presidents
