Dear all,
A Fellowship at the Software Sustainability Institute provides researchers from all disciplines with £3000 to spend on travel and more.
The deadline for applications is 20 September at 17.00. If you want to benefit from a Fellowship, please apply now (http://bit.ly/FellowsApplication).
The funding is flexible, and can be used to pay for travel to conferences, setting up and running workshops, and starting new collaborations. In return for funding, Fellows keep the Software Sustainability Institute up to date with the latest news from their discipline. More information about the Fellowship is available on the Fellowship page (http://bit.ly/ssi-fellows) .
The Software Sustainability Institute is a national facility for cultivating world-class research through software. It comprises experts from the universities of Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford and Southampton. I've hugely benefited from being a 'Software Agent'. I suggest you apply today!
Best wishes,
Kathryn

How to write a review?
Hello UKPN,
During the panel session on “Publishing in Polar Sciences” yesterday at the Antarctic Sciences Conference , we also got onto the topic of writing reviews. Several panel members highly recommended this article, so I thought I’d share it with the whole list.

Have an ice weekend!

Reminder: Publishing in Polar Science (and get-together!), Thursday 13th, Cambridge, Kaetsu Centre
Hello UKPN folks,
For those attending the Antarctic Science Conference:
Have you ever wondered, how to choose a journal to which to submit a paper? What may be the disadvantages of Open Access Journals? How to deal with contradicting reviews?
Come to the panel session on “Publishing in Polar Science” on Thursday 13th, in the Lecture Theatre at 5.30pm.
With Karen Heywood, Jane Francis, David Vaughan, Eric Wolff, Lloyd Peck and Tom Bracegirdle, we have a panel of polar scientists from various disciplines, who will share their experience.
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions!
Cambridge-based folks:
We plan to go for a bite afterwards. If you want to join us (venue still to be decided), please email Coleen, at coleen.suckling_at_polarnetwork.org
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
Emma and Amélie

Hello UKPN members,
As you will all know, UKPN is the UK branch of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS).
APECS is currently looking for nominations for the next Executive Committee – an excellent opportunity to get involved in our international “mother” organisation!
As UKPN is one of APECSs strongest and most active national branches, it would be great, if UKPN would continue to be represented in the APECS ExCom.
Consider applying!
See the call for nominations below.

The purpose of this email is to encourage YOU to consider applying for the new APECS Executive Committee or nominating someone you think would do a great job of shaping our organization.
APECS is now an internationally respected association and is recognized as one of the major legacies of the 4th International Polar Year. Our great members, particularly those of our past APECS Executive Committees and Councils have largely contributed to this through their excellent and hard work. To maintain this high level of success, and bring new vision and ideas to APECS, it is truly important for you to be active in this election.
Now YOU get the chance to influence the future of polar research!
What does the APECS Executive Committee do? Check out the APECS website at http://www.apecs.is/about-apecs/leadership/executive-commitee for more information.
How do you apply?
It’s easy! You only have to provide
- basic biographical information (name, institution, contact details, country of residence and origin),
- a brief biosketch that gives us a better picture of who you are (e.g. research theme and interests, your hobbies, etc.),
- a photo of yourself that we can use for the APECS website,
- the names and contact details of two referees, and
- a statement of interest detailing why you are interested in serving on the APECS Executive Committee; how you would like to contribute to APECS as a member of the APECS Executive Committee. Please also include any past involvement in organizing APECS activities, or other experiences that would make you a good candidate. An outline of what we are specifically hoping you address in your statement of interest and general information about the election procedure is available on the APECS website at http://www.apecs.is/about-apecs/leadership/executive-commitee
What is the timeline for the election?
The 2012-2013 APECS Executive Committee elections follow a strict timeline.

reconstruct the past/present/future variation of Greenland ice
sheet, which includes developments of surface mass balance model,
earth rebound model, and/or interaction between ice-sheet and
climate systems
- Technical improvement of numerical model (e.g., optimization,
parallelization, as well as incorporation of such numerical technique
as multi-grid methods or adaptive mesh refinement).
Operation of numerical simulations.
- Experience of programming with FORTRAN and MPI,
and visualization of numerical simulations are strongly expected.
- The job is from November 1 or later to the end of March, but,
further extension may be possible.
The working place is the Yokohama institute of JAMSTEC.
At the moment we have no official information in English, despite this position is opened to foreigners. So please contact us (SAITO Fuyuki <saitofuyuki@jamstec.go.jp> and Ayako ABE-OUCHI
