PSECCO event/opportunity

The Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) is seeking enthusiastic postdoctoral researchers to join an organizing team to help plan and steer the activities of the 2023 Polar Postdoctoral Leadership Workshop (PPLW) – happening in/near Boulder, Colorado, 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.

Are you a polar scientist wanting to learn more about where you can find and access polar data to use in your research or teaching? Learn about where you can find and how you can access Antarctic and Arctic data in this Polar Data Accessibility Webinar taking place on Thursday, November 10th from 11am to 12pm MST. The webinar will feature short overviews of data resources from:

Join PSECCO for a panel discussion aimed at anyone headed to the Antarctic for the first time. We'll be hearing from an impressive line-up of people speaking from varied experiences in Antarctica, including: 

Headed to Antarctica and curious to learn more about governance of the region? Learn more about governance past, present and future down south.

Antarctica belongs to no-one, yet is home to science and scientists from around the world⁠—making it a place like no other. Learn from Dr. Iqra Choudhry and Kimberly Aiken about the history, current landscape and future considerations for governing this unique environment.

Meet other early career scientists headed to Antarctica in the 2022-2023 season and learn about the science they're doing down there!

Join other polar early career scientists from all over, to connect, network, & build community at PSECCO's Early Career Social Hour in the fun virtual world of 'Topia'!

Topia is an interactive and unique way to connect with others remotely, in a virtual setting built specifically for this PSECCO Social Hour. Sit and chat with other polar scientists who do science where you do, or move to gather with other folks chatting around a campfire. The cool thing about this world is that you decide who you chat to and where you go within it.

Join the Polar Science Early Career Community Office and the National Science Foundation Office of Polar Program (OPP) Officers on July 12 from 3pm to 4.30pm ET for an entry-level conversation about what the OPP and its relevance to you as a polar early career scientist!

The first hour of the call will be share an entry-level overview of the Office of Polar Programs, and information directly relevant to polar early career scientists. Some questions that may be covered on the call include:

The Polar Science Early Career Community Office (PSECCO) invites US-based early career polar scientists with a research focus on the Antarctic, Arctic, or high alpine regions to apply to serve on the PSECCO Advisory Board. PSECCO is a new community-building and support effort for early career scientists focused on promoting accessibility, inclusion and diversity in the polar sciences, funded by NSF and housed at the University of Colorado.
