PSECCO event/opportunity

Participants will have an opportunity for direct conversation and Q&A on the topic of engagement with scientific coordination bodies. This conversation can include general information on the types of coordination bodies and their importance, how to get involved, upcoming events, and the role that these different bodies play in the execution of Arctic science.

Participants will discuss the differences and similarities between working as a professional track research scientist versus as a tenure-track/tenured faculty member. Sinéad will share her reflections on working in a variety of research and academic positions over the last 15 years. Participants will have the opportunity for Q&A and will converse about their career interests, aspirations and the potential concerns they may have as they chart their own path in science.

Participants will discuss how to broaden the impact of their science, identify effective education and outreach activities that are aligned with the science and participants interest, talk about the broader impacts review criterion from NSF and strategies on how to develop a strong broader impacts plan and develop a draft for their own work.

What is NSF’s Office of Polar Programs (also known as OPP)? How do you make your polar science proposal as NSF-savvy as possible? How do you best describe your broader impacts? What is cutting edge in data management? How do you identify the best program for application? How do you access available education and outreach funds? Where do you even start finding funding opportunities?

Participants will converse about science in the public sector of civil service. Caitlyn will prompt discussion and answer questions informed by her research perspective as an employee of the executive branch of the United States federal government.

Co-production of knowledge in Arctic research brings together multiple ways of knowing and emphasizes equity in research. This discussion panel will provide an introduction to co-production of knowledge with an emphasis on providing tips and resources for early career researchers. Four co-production experts will be asked questions to introduce the concept of co-production, discuss ways in which early career researchers can approach co-production in Arctic research, and share lessons about long-term relationship building.

Join us for a panel discussion on how to build an inclusive fieldwork environment and equip yourself for navigating potential power imbalances prior to heading to the Arctic this summer. Learn from an array of panelists who have ‘been there, done that’ and learned a lot along the way about what contributes to a positive fieldwork experience, and how to work towards that prior to stepping foot in the Arctic.

Panelists for the event include:

Wanting to know more about non-tenure track faculty jobs and what opportunities exist for polar scientists beyond academia? The Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) is hosting its second panel to discuss opportunities beyond academia for polar scientists. What you learn here will absolutely be transferrable to jobs outside of polar science too, so be sure to spread word of this event far and wide!

The Polar Science Early Career Community Office is excited to announce that the 2023 Polar Postdoctoral Leadership Workshop (PPLW) will be taking place in the Front Range of Colorado, from May 15 to 19, 2023. The workshop will bring 20 US-based postdoctoral researchers studying Antarctic and Arctic topics together from across the country to activate leadership skills that they can bring into their future careers. Participation in the workshop is free and travel support will be provided (more details below).
